This truly does work quite well. I have upgraded five Del laptops and the last three weeks using a bootable flash drive. I have done it with no sighted assistance. The easiest way I have found to create a bootable flash drive, is to use the windows media creation tool. It needs to run on a windows eight or windows 10 machine to work properly. I have not got it to work correctly by running in on a windows seven machine. That tool is easy to use and downloads the latest windows 10 version and copies it onto a portable flash drive. Very little work to do. After that, you need to make sure the computer boots to the flash drive. If it does not happen automatically, dell computers use the F12 key to bring up the boot menu. Other manufacturers may use a different function key, I don't recall exactly which, I think some of them use F8 or F2. I used the seeing Ai app on my phone to verify I am at the boot screen. Then some trial and error may be needed. You may have to press the down arrow once, twice to get the system to boot to the flash drive. After that, control windows enter will start narrator for all installation and setup screens until the process is complete.

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.
