You don't have to hope at all. Different venders have different boot manager settings. Plus, creating a bootable USB drive is not difficult. To boot from a dell, for instance, all you do is press F12 at the logo, and then I think USB storage device is the second one down; local hard drive, USB storage device, DVD drive. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of mhysnm1964@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2018 1:19 AM To: 'Blind sysadmins list' <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Windows10 installation with a screen reader After what version of Windows10? Creative addition? If I understand you correctly. 1. The user has to some how download the latest version of windows10. 2. Stick it on a USB drive. 3. Boot and hope there system will boot off the USB stick? If I am not wrong, this is a BIOS setting? 4. Once booted, run narrator. Is there any blogs out there taking a average user through the steps? As I want to give these instructions to [people who are not computer savy. Thus changing BIOS settings is out of scope for these people.

Just depends how new your windows 10 version is. If it is an older version then you'll either have to use an xml file to install automatically or use a talking win p e and set it up from there. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mhysnm1964@gmail.com> To: "'Blind sysadmins list'" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 11:39 PM Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Windows10 installation with a screen reader
All,
I did have a blog on installing windows10 using Narrator and cannot find it any more. Done a search and haven't found it. Basically I want to verify the following. Any information on this would be helpful. 1. If the user has to install win10 on a new hard drive. Will Narrator work at the initial boot-up stage? I know it works for upgrades if you have a prior windows present. 2. If not, how would a average user install windows10 without sighted assistance.
Sean
