Ok, think may have figured out why WOA won't allow me to write the .img
file to the SDCard - when I turned off NVDA, and fired up demo version
of jaws, I could make more sense of the WOA interface, and, while I had
asked the .iso download page to supply 1809, it seems to have downloaded
1776 build of windows 10, which is thus not compatible with packages.zip
that was downloaded from link on same original page, so, I am guessing
that this incompatibility is the issue - in the drop-down to choose what
version of windows to deploy to the SDCard, only 1776 shows up, and, I
think this is based on the extracted .wim file.
This is all still just a guess, but anyway.

Glad to know am not the only one looking into trying this out.===========================================================
My issue is that it's not allowing me to write the .wim image onto an
SDCard yet - downloaded packages.zip, and, the WOA installer, as well
as pulling the full .iso image down, and then extracting the .wim
file, but, when I launch the WOA installer - not a nice interface -
while I can load packages.zip under the advanced tab, and, can choose
the .wim file after that, I can't seem to locate anywhere to select
the SDCard drive to write to.
Besides that, my only suggestion would be to try the standard narrator
launch command from desktop windows - ctrl + windows key + enter, and,
see if that gets any result?

Heya there all: to Jacob in particular.
I tried that unofficial method of getting windows 10 onto a Pi and
process does appear to work, but once I booth the Pi, I have no way of
knowing if it worked since I don't have an hdmi monitor I can hook up,
and even with usb headphones hooked up no dice.
I'm not saying it doesn't work at all, so if anyone here is low-vision
can try it it might be interesting.
I can't even imagine trying to use windows on one of these things, but
for curiosity would be interesting to know if it could be done.
Thanks for posting it though, I had fun playing with it, and if I can
find an hdmi monitor of some kind I'll get sighted assistance to find
out what happens when it boots.
Till then, take care...
Cheereo!
