[nobe-l] questions regarding upgrading to Windows 10

[Heather Field]

Hello Craig,
Microsoft has made an announcement that people using a screen-reader will 
not have to pay for the upgrade. So, while the upgrade will cost sighted 
computer users after July, Blind computer users will not be charged.
I'm sure you can find specific information on how to verify your status as a 
screen-reader user on the Microsoft website somewhere. However, rest 
assured, your I T guy is not correct in your case. You, as a screen-reader 
user, are exempt from the coming upgrade charges.

Warmly,
Heather

Greetings,
It was great to see many of you in Orlando, and I hope you're enjoying
your summer.
Today, our I.T. director at the high school where I teach asked me if
I plan to upgrade my Dell laptop to Windows 10.  He said that if I do
it by July 29, the upgrade is free.  After that, it will cost around
$120.
I am running the latest version of JAWS with Windows 8.  Do you
recommend that I upgrade?  Does it work well with JAWS?
Thank you in advance.
Craig
