[Ohio-talk] mixing versions of Jaws

[Cheryl Fischer]

Thanks Marianne- that makes some logical sense. 

I know about XP not being supported. I haven't suffered much as a result of
that yet, but that probably means I don't use my computer for all the
purposes others do. I mainly use my computer for email using Outlook, for
BARD, Google for finding information and some  downloads, and Word for
reading and writing documents.

No, JAWS version 12 is not picky.  The problem is that Windows 8 and
10 came out after JAWS version 12.  To use Windows 8 you must have at least
JAWS version 15 and to use Windows 10 you must have at least JAWS 16.  You
could certainly use JAWS 12 with any Windows operating system up to and
through Windows 7.  The same is true with JAWS 14.
Be aware that Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows XP.
