Â* Also while in use most windows 7 machines since the recent updates have
apparently started refreshing their screens, no matter what is
running. The
sighted may not see this except for perhaps a mouse position move, but
blind
users, if reading a document, find it stops the reading, as it changes
the
focus of the carat.
Â* Similar things can happen if some alert is displayed, but there is no
alert, so I did wonder if this was in readiness for a mega nag after
the end
of January to **** off users.

For a while I've been wondering whether to risk changing from W7 to W10,
but this thread gave me the poke I needed. The process was quick(ish),
painless and (so far) everything seems to work. YMMV, of course.
Hmm, it is not as painless as I thought. The basics worked fine but the
Windows account privileges were screwed-up in the process and I just had
to waste several hours sorting it out in order to be able to reinstall
my back-up software (Crashplan), which stopped working after the change
to W10.
