>From a post I made on the Windows 10 for Screen Reader Users group, quoting a Microsoft technician who sometimes participates there with regard to adding languages, which also adds the voices for same if the language is noted as having text to speech as a feature:

As Shou-Ching Shilling stated earlier:  You can find the steps here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/22797. 

Yes, they work very well with NVDA.  As I noted earlier, most are OneCore synth voices, not SAPI 5 voices, so you do have to change your synthesizer in order to have most of them show up in the dropdown for choice of voice.

Agreed. Windows 10 actually has better synths than my Windows 7 did, where I only had Microsoft Anna for SAPI 5. Now I have at least three choices, and possibly more, though I haven't figured out how to add them yet. I can't speak for Windows 8 as I never had it.

Okay, the Microsoft voices work, but event at a rate of 100 they go
much slower than I would like. Is there a way to increase their speed
further?

Subject: [nvda] Free Synthesizers

What are some free synthesizers available for NVDA besides Espeak? I know

that things should be fine for awhile, but I want some alternatives and

can't really afford to pay for anything at the moment unfortunately.

I know of no way to increase the speed higher than "rate of 100."

Yours is a common complaint.  I'd submit a suggestion that the top rate be increased significantly via the Feedback Hub, then post the link to same here for folks to be able to upvote it.

It amazes me how many screen reader users can understand a speech rate that leaves most of the rest of the world scratching their heads (including me)!  But I also get why that's an incredibly valuable skill to develop.
