Hi Andrew.
In windows 10, my computer has been renamed this PC. NVDA should be reading the disk space to you after a few seconds when you arrow to local disk c or similar. it should also be reading out size information on any folder that you highlight. if it isn't reading out the options, if you could double check the object options to make sure they're enabled as instructed earlier that would be great.

cheers,

Mo.

Hi Mo


When I go to File manager using windows key and e, I don't see My computer as an option. I do find local disc c listed but when I go to this there are no announcements. How do you get to My Computer on your PC, please?

Hi andrew.
When you go in to my pc and arrow down, your hard drive should be listed. Is it coming up in the list for you?

Cheers,
Mo.

    Hi Mo


    Thanks, I've set NVDA as you suggest, but I can't find 'my computer', I
    do have 'This PC' and I can not find a button to say OK.


    Regards

        Hi Andrew. Go in to NVDA's menu with insert N, go to
        preferences then in to object presentation. Check the option
        that says report tooltips, and also check the option to read
        background progress bars. Then click OK. now when you go in
        to my computer and highlight your hard drive, it should
        automatically tell you how much space is left. as for when
        you're copying files, try pressing insert U in NVDA to turn
        on speaking of progress bars. press it repeatedly to go
        through the various options for reading of progress bars. you
        can also change these options from the object preferences. I
        hope this helps? cheers, Mo. On 28/09/2016 10:48, AKH AKH wrote:

            Hi all Using Windows 10 with NVDA how do I find out how

            windows 7 it used to tell me how much data I was

            not do this, perhaps there is also a way to get NVDA to
            announce this as well? Best regards Andrew
