Hi,
According to Freedom Scientific website said that it must be Jaws 16 or
newest version that it will work with Windows 10.
Jaws 15 or old versions will not work and support with Windows 10.
Please go into the website:
www.freedowmscientific.com
Or
You can call the tech support to ask question by either on the phone or
email.
Good luck.

JAWS 15 does not support Windows 10, so I suspect that the video drivers
used by JAWS 15 were causing your problem. If you want to use JAWS with
Windows 10, you need version 16 latest build.

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] Jaws and Windows 10
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.
