Windows 10 Upgrade?

If you definitely do not want win 10, then look online for a program called never 10 and run it. it gives you what your current state is and each time you select the item it will change to reflect the current setting. Turning it off stops everything from updating.

In answer to your other question, as far as i know windows 10 works like a big version of system restore in that it puts 10 in keeping everything that can work as it was and storing windows 7 in a special folder. You have i seem to recall 1 month before this folder is deleted. After that you cannot go back to 7 again. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

have a look under your C:\ drive. if there is only a program file there it is a 32 bit machine. If it says program file and also has a extra directory called program files x86 then this is a 64 bit machine. There is a audio tutorial on upgrading from window 8 I think it is to windows 10 and the steps to do it. You will only be able to use your screen reader up to a part, then when it starts to reboot 7 times there will be no screen reader support. There will be a time it may vary then you bring up narrator to finish off the job. The link can be found on my nvda audio tutorial page at http://www.accessibilitycentral.net/nvda%20audio%20tutorials.html You will need to look for the heading that refers about upgrading to windows 10. It can also be found on my nvda tutorials for windows 10 page as well at http://www.accessibilitycentral.net/nvda%20audio%20tutorials.html most upgrades do go nicely but you do have the odd one or 2 that cause trouble. In that case it might be drivers needed or not supported. By the way i think the free upgrade ends at the 29th of this month. hope this helps. Gene nz On 28/07/2016 4:06 AM, David Russell wrote:

I did the upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 a couple months ago and it went just fine. All my files, folders, and more important--all my programs were still there just as though nothing much had happened at all! I didn't need to reinstall anything although I did reinstall nvda over the existing copy just to be sure. Just choose the option to keep everything and I think that is the default and you should be good to go.

Hi NVDA group,
I currently have Win7 on my computer, but am noticing the frequency of upgrade to win10 is occurring more often during the day. My questions are these: -If I select yes, will it write over Win7 or somehow make win7 disabled? -Will "all programs" currently accessed be moved to function in win10? -How do I tell if the version upgrade is 32-bit or 64-bit? I do have the latest version of NVDA running. Thanks for the help which will lead me to move or not move. Regards, -- David Russell david.sonofhashem@...
