David,
If you have not used Windows 10 before you will enjoy it once you become
accustomed to the differences from your last OS. I am currently tweaking all
my system sounds now just because I can. I have pretty much all my favorite
system sounds back the way they were before the upgrade to Windows 10 and
eventually I am going to make a few new wav files just for fun. The Windows
10 sound scheme is annoying to me, laughs! and they only give you default or
none.

Subject: [blind-philly-comp] Update on My Computer/Good News
I just received a call from one of the folks in the shop regarding the
status of my computer and he informed me that my computer is ready to come
home. It has a new and larger hard drive, along with Windows 10. I was
informed that its speed is quite fast, which really pleases me. My wife and
I will be heading to the shop tomorrow to pick it up. Consequently, I
expect, a bit ironically, to be offline for much of the day as I slowly
build everything back up by reinstalling all of the software I regularly
use. My first tas, after physically setting it back up, is to install the
new 2015.4 of NVDA. Sadly, I tried installing it on my iPhone but it didn't
seem to work. <grin> Next, I need to replace its preinstalled Windows
Defender with Kaspersky for my malware protection. After that, I'll install
Thunderbird and set up my email accounts, followed by Firefox, which is my
preferred Web browser. If I can do all of that in one day that will be a
nice start although there's still Microsoft Office, Libreoffice, iTunes,
WinBT for my occasional Braille translation tasks, setting up hotkeys for my
various files and folders, Tapin Radio, etc.
I will likely not be posting all that much during the next week but I'll be
monitoring this list as time allows.
Take care.
