Gary,
Jim is a computer guy from way back and I think these are good reasons
to consider the upgrade.
I did mine just before Christmas and needed no sighted help. I did
kind of fudge things a bit and waited until my brother was coming for a
visit, and did the upgrade the day before. I figured if I got hosed
somehow, he could help me out.
Don't know if you use JAWS, but FS suggests uninstalling all versions
prior to V 16. I didn't know that in advance, but all prior versions
were uninstalled during the upgrade process.
I have had no problems thus far with programs, scanners, printers, etc.
not working.
Only exception so far has been the driver for my Wavenode swr/wattmeter
needs to be updated and the instructions for this seem a bit
complicated. Maybe as I get more familiar with Windows 10 I will
understand a bit more. For now am running Wavenode on a XP machine.
