Iain,
is there an issue though if it has been installed on an s s d
drive? I've heard that it screws up your machine if this is so,
and that there isn't as yet a fix from microsoft. Are you saying
that this is now not so?
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Paul

Subject: [access-uk] Re: Windows 10 Anniversary Update
Running the latest version of JAWS, I had no problems installing
the
latest update of Windows 10. There was an issue with the
Anniversary
update, but it didn't even allow the update to start and it was
quickly
solved by Microsoft. My experience is that theAnniversary update
will
now instal with no problems.

Hello everyone,
Allow me to introduce myself to your group as a new member.
My name is Martin and the first thing I would like to share with
you is that I am fully sighted; I heard about this group from my
blind friend and I help him out from time to time with computer
troubles.
My reason for joining is because I am keen to find out from any
of you about your experiences with installing and using the
latest version of Windows 10, otherwise known as the Anniversary
Update.
As you may be aware, the Update is by default mandatory for all
users who run Windows Home (although I learn with some tweaks you
can defer it to a degree depending on your connection), so if you
have not received it yet you are likely to get it in due course.
If you run the Windows Pro version then you have a much easier
prospect of deferring the update.
Now, the former might well cause a degree of consternation for
you Windows Home users given that there has been talk that the
new Update is not compatible with Dolphin and Jaws software
drivers, which are key components of the screen readers that I am
sure many of you will be familiar with.
There have been, I understand, reports that the Update proceeds
so far in the installation and then hangs, at best reverting you
back to the previous version and at worst, well, goodness knows
what! It is quite clear that this can develop into a very
frustrating situation!
I also had some trouble installing the Update myself shortly
after release, taking many failed attempts and long evenings
(long story) trying to install it. That said, I think the effort
has certainly been worth it and it is been running for a few
weeks now.
My friend is due to install the Update this weekend (it is
already downloaded and scheduled for installation), so if you
have any comments or experiences that might assist him please do
let me know.
Finally, if you are after any other advice that a person like me
can assist with or to just give perspective on, I am very willing
and happy to offer it in the long run.
You should note that while I am moderately savvy in computers, I
am not an IT professional nor due to my circumstances explained
above do I have regular access to some of the gadgets, widgets
and software that you might typically use.
But if you do require any assistance and it falls within my
frame of experience, I am confident it can be mutually
beneficial.
Cheers,
Martin
