Hi Billy
I'm sure they will all work with Windows 10, perhaps not brilliantly to start
with, but eventually.
Kind Regards,

Well based on small amount that I played with it so far, it seemed pretty
accessible. It seems like they have taken best bits of win 7 and 8 and put it
all together.
There are rumours that Microsoft is hoping for narrator to be a
fully-fledged screen reader in this version of windows. Though it is vastly
improved even from that of windows 8, I'm not sure that I'd still use it as my
primary screen reader, but it can certainly do quite a lot. But, as I said, I
only had limited opportunities to play with it so I haven't explored it as much
as I would like, or at least not yet, but we will see how it goes.
I guess also how do you define accessible, some consider win 8
inaccessible. There are many things I don't like about windows 8, but they
certainly can be used with screen readers therefore I wouldn't consider them
inaccessible.
