Hi,

Even though this is for Window-Eyes, it is a pretty thorough guide.



All the best

Just been looking at the MS web site for details of the upgrade/install
process for windows 10 their site is monumentally unhelpfull in that regard,
they are spending more page space in gushing lyrical about windows 10 than
offering any guidance to end users on the actuall process. all they say is
that your get windows 10 app will notify you when your upgrade is ready..
assuming narrator is enabled( or nvda if you are using that) my guess is
that the notication will be read out to you.


In fact with regards to NVDA if you do upgrade to windows 10 and have NVDA
running,you may get a notification advising that it is not fully compatible
and you can link directly to the nvda status page for compatability status,(
NV access are working closely with Microsoft on this issue according to the
last status update I looked at this morning )

Sorry my post was no more helpfull than what I could glean from microsoft.
will update the list on my experience when it happens ( probably at stupid
o'clock knowing my luck ).

Hello,



I realise that I may not bee able to get windows 10 exactly today. What
slightly concerns me is that when clicking on 'get windows 10' app, I get
the following:




"Thank you for reserving your free upgrade


You're part of the largest software upgrade event ever, and your PC is
almost ready for Windows 10. We're rolling out the free upgrade in waves,
and we'll let you know when it's ready for you.

Watch for your notification so that you can start your upgrade."



That is followed by a slideshow, which shows you what the evarious stages of
the eupgrade will look like.



I have the following questions:



1. When the update is ready to download and install, will the
notification in the system tray change in any other way rather than just
visually? IE, will it say something else than 'get windows 10' or will it
change so when I click on it there will be ways to download/install it
rather than just this not particularly helpful slideshow?





2. Once the update is installed and it asks your basic setup
questions, are we able to launch narrator during this process? Is narrator
shortcut/s different in win 10?

Thank you.
