Hi Paul
My understanding is that the SSD issue is where you have files on a second
drive relating to those on the SSD. For example, Microsoft Office will be
installed on your SSD drive, but you choose to save Word files on a second
drive. My main drive is an SSD, and I have two other drives on my machine.
But I only use the SSD for installations. When I save a Word document, I
save it to my SSD, then manually move it and back it up elsewhere. In other
words, I don't allow my second and third drives to interfere with the
installation paths on the SSD.
I hope this makes sense.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

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

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
