Hi If you haven’t used the computer in 6 years, Windows 10 will be totally out of date. You can start Narrator with a shortcut key combination as soon as Windows is active. The key combination is Control+Windows+Enter as of now but it may have been just Windows+Enter on the version you have.

Thanks John. That sure did work. Tried it on my main machine and it works fine.
Now the big problem is:
I have another machine, a windows 10 computer that I bought about six years ago but never got it running; because I forgot the logon password. I'm hoping that I can get it as far as asking for the password, then make it talk. Gonna try this thumb drive or/and try narrator.
If you have other ideas, please suggest. I have found, downloaded, and set up a boot CD with a program that is supposed to let me take away the password. But I need to make the machine talk or get a sighty to read the screen. Well, maybe soon.
Thanks again.
Howard
