I just bought a new pc that has Windows 7 home premium.
Lots of memory, so hopefully my old sluggish days will be on the downturn.

I want to see if I can find something to read about using new Operating System.

Does someone know where you can download a good bit of text that describes the navigation and features of Windows 7? What I have found so far has a lot click on this and that images and video tutorials on the microsoft page. I was hoping maybe one of you knows where folks like us who are going to be navigating using keyboard commands might get to the heart of what we need to know without having to browse around and past so much of that stuff.

Also, this is a 64-bit system. So I have an SMA with my JAWS but I have only every used a 32-bit system. Do I need to just go and download the 64-bit version of JAWS from the Freedom Scientific website? Or maybe it is on the newly sent out DVD with JAWS on it. (I have not yet opened that, with the problems I was having on my old pc's I was just waiting.)

Will sighted assistance be advised when first installing the new JAWS on this system?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Rik
