Gloria, your Jaws will work with your computer. You don't normally have to
update when the company says to. I ran an old Jaws for years on my Windows
98 computer. Now I use Window Eyes and love it! Again I don't have to
update even going from system to system, opporating system it handled it
well, smile. My husband is using a Zoomtext that is six years old.
I have a friend using a Braille display that only runs with Jaws eight nine,
not sure. She is still fine and doesn't need to upgrade for what she does.
I often wondered as JAWS users update so much if the system just dies and
you have to upgrade. I was told that was not true as it is the same back
when I ran Windows 98 with JAWS.
There is a a couple of screen readers that you can pay for with monthly
payments. I know Window Eyes is one. Is it Saratech that is the other.
There is also a free one, but I don't know the name off the top of my head,
but it is like NVDA.
