Hi Tris

How would you ascertain what version of Windows 8 is running on a machine
then?  I'm asking on behalf of a friend not subscribed.  They have seen a
laptop in PC World they might want to buy, but need to know what version of
Windows 8 is on it.  I think the staff are probably as helpful as a
chocolate fireguard! I've not seen Windows 8, so can't really help.

Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

There are two sorts of Windows 8.0 available.  The vast majority of machines
will have Windows 8.0 Pro on which therefore require a JAWS Professional
licensing.  There are however some machines with Windows 8.0 (no suffix).
This is equivalent to a Windows Home Premium and therefore only require a
JAWS standard license.

Hope this helps.

Is anyone using Windows 8 with the standard version of JAWS?  I am trying to
seek clarification for someone who is thinking of purchasing a laptop, but
has been advised that only JAWS Professional works under Windows 8.

Many thanks.
