I finally updated my desktop to Windows 10 (from windows 8.1). I'm 
posting the following observation for other Jaws users.

I was running Jaws 15. I tried downloading the Windows 10 update twice. 
both times, the download failed as it reached 100%. I didn't know what 
was causing the failure. since I remember that I couldn't install Jaws 
15 on my Windows 10 tablet, I wondered if Jaws 15 was somehow getting in 
the way. I didn't think so because I was only downloading the update, 
not running it, but it was the only thing I could think of, so I 
uninstalled all FS products and tried again. this time, the Windows 10 
download was successful.

As a weird side note, I use NVDA a lot, especially on the web. Jaws 
works really well with a few products. NVDA tends to work better with 
most other things. So I use NVDA with all those other things. While I'm 
finally used to working with it, I haven't quite come to terms with 
eSpeak, so I use NVDA with the Microsoft voices. They're a little 
sluggish. I don't notice it when I'm Googling for pointless crap or 
reading and writing emails to friends, but I do notice it a lot when I'm 
trying to get work done. Since I was in the middle of getting work done 
when I downloaded the Windows 10 update, I didn't run it until two days 
later. The very first thing I noticed when I uninstalled all FS products 
was that NVDA was less sluggish with the Microsoft voices. In theory, 
one thing should have nothing to do with the other because I unload Jaws 
(ins+F4) before starting NVDA, but apparently it does.

I didn't have this problem when updating this computer from Windows 8 to 
windows 8.1 or when updating my netbook from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.
