Dorene,

I agree with others here. With Jaws 16 or the current NVDA, Windows 10 
is nice.

You do have to put things on the desktop, like This PC and your folder. 
the steps are the same as for Windows 8, not at all as intuitive as for 
Windows 7 and earlier.

The search feature doesn't seem as helpful as for earlier versions of 
Windows. I think you need to specify what you're searching for--app, 
web, or setting--and this may be something I'm still learning. With 
Windows 8, you'd get results for all three. With 10, you mostly seem to 
get web results, which is annoying, because I would have gone to my 
browser if I'd wanted a web search.

All apps are organized by letter. I like it, but I think I'm still 
figuring out how it works. sometimes pressing enter once on an item 
works; other times, I have to press enter twice. Sometimes I'm in a 
grid; other times I'm in a list.

The Edge browser doesn't work very well, so you need to use IE, Firefox, 
Chrome, or whatever else.

Those are the only significant differences I've noticed.

Ciao
