[Trainer-Talk] Recommendations regarding updating?

[Greg Aikens]

Hi Jim,
I have updated to the anniversary edition with no problems. The Start menu is different but it is far more streamlined than before. I have not noticed any major changes in the way JAWS interacts with the OS but the anniversary edition was touted as providing some major accessibility improvements. That may be referring to the updates in Narrator, which seem to be significant. 

Best,

Hi everyone,

 

I was just curious if anyone on this list has taken the plunge and updated to the new anniversary Windows 10 edition.

I am currently running last year's Windows 10 on both my Laptop and Tablet, and it's working wonderfully.  Is it worthwhile or necessary to update, and if so, what are advantages and disadvantages?

I've heard that the start menu looks different with this new version.

How good or compatible is it with JAWS?

Thanks for any thoughts or recommendations.

Jim
