If you're someone who routinely searches for content by file name, then the first thing you should do, whether on Windows 10 or not, is install the Everything Search tool from voidtools.com. It's what I use for searching my machines as my primary tool, and that includes on Windows 7 machines, too. There is a portable and installable version, but since I use it multiple times per day and want the index it creates to be updated as files get added/removed, I use the installable version. It indexes only on file name, and you can control where it looks to create its index. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763

What I'm actually trying to do is make an external hard drive
of 3.63 TB with a GPT disk Partition work on my older machines so I can back up
the information from my older machine onto the new hard drive. From what I
understand, and I could be wrong, but in order to make a hard drive work on both
new and old machines, it has to have a status of MBR, since GPT only seems to
work on new machines with Windows 7 and above.

A sighted person may say they are not sure why Microsoft has Narrator. Sticky keys is just as important for accessibility to a person who has only one hand as a screenreader is for us blind people. How, for example, would somebody who has only one hand quickly do upper case letters or press shortcut keys involving Shift, Control and Alt? Sticky keys allows them to press shift as as the name describes, it “sticks” until the next letter is pressed.

Hello David:
Personally, I would never use the upgrade procedure
to migrate from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I am not saying that for the most
part and for most people the upgrade procedure worked as it should but, for me,
if I am upgrading to a new version of Windows, I prefer to have a clean
install.
I performed a new install of Windows 10 Pro on my
HP laptop, which I purchased in 2012, , using my existing
Windows 7 key to authorise the new installation of Windows 10. My laptop gets no
warmer, than it did when running Windows 7 Professional.

Minitool Partition Wizard: Can it be Made Accessible?
Annabelle Susan Morison
Hi, it's
Annabelle.
I'm trying out
Minitool Partition Wizard, and it only seems to be somewhat accessible. The only
part I can't seem to access is the list of disk drives. If anyone can tell me
what is the best software for converting disk partitions without loss of data
(formatting the disk), I would kindly appreciate it. What I know is, Minitool
Partition Wizard can convert FAT32, Exfat, HFS, and NTFS between each other, as
well as Convert MBR to GPT and Vice Versa. http://www.minitool.com

Re: How to edit Outlook 2016 address auto completion list
Tim Ford
Hello Robin!
You Can make this much more simple! JAWS is well-matched to make this especially easy. Start with opening a new email, your cursor will be in the “To” field, and press whatever letter of the alphabet you want. Without doing anything else, if the first address you hear is one to delete, just press the delete key, no routing of cursors necessary. Continue on as JAWS says the next name, press delete, or if you want to keep that one, press down arrow to hear the next name. Press delete, or down arrow to keep.
The above is about the most direct method I can think of, and I suggest using this approach.

I just tried doing the steps essentially with the JAWS cursor and it seemed to work, although it’s not really as responsive as I’d like. In this case, I typed the first letters of a name, then routed the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor. I then arrowed a few times to the right to get the pointer more centered over the list of options and then arrowed down. I was able to arrow down through the list of autocomplete options and press delete on the ones I didn’t want, as the JAWS cursor was highlighting the options as I arrowed down. Sometimes I had to arrow up and down a couple times to actually get to the next options; not sure if that is a JAWS cursor focus issue or not, but I could see that the highlight was not moving down, even I’d pressed down arrow, then I’d arrow up and back down and focus would move. As another interesting note in my experiment, hitting enter on the name that JAWS had just read aloud did not populate the To field with that name, Instead, I needed to hit the left click on the keyboard to select the desired address for my email.

I use Outlook 2010, but I would guess that later versions of Outlook have retained the following option for removing addresses when using auto-complete. As an alternative approach, you can also go to your address book in Outlook and with the applications key or shift + F10, delete individual listings. Setting that aside …
For example, you open a new message, and your curser is in the “To” box. Press the beginning letter of the name, and Outlook gives you that portion of the address book. As you hear JAWS say the entry, you can simply press the delete key, Outlook removes the entry just spoken, and speaks the next entry in line. You can continue to press the delete key. If you come across an entry you want to complete, arrow down to hear the next entry. You can continue to arrow down, pressing delete on ones to remove, until you get to the end of that portion of the alphabet. From there, backspace to remove the letter you had typed, and press a different letter, taking you to that portion of the alphabet in the address book. Continue on as desired.
Hope this works, for me it is the easiest.

Re: How to edit Outlook 2016 address autocompletion list
Van Lant, Robin
It does seem that the interface with autocomplete options in Outlook 2016 has changed in recent months. I can no longer get the arrowing up and down aspect to work as before, so that means you can’t get focus to delete as I can still in Outlook 2010 at home. I think it’s an Outlook thing, because I’m running the December release of JAWS with Outlook 2016 and the newest release of JAWS at home with Outlook 2010 and have no issues with autocomplete options there. It’s caused some frustration for me hree at work with autocomplete.

I just tested these steps I got from google and should have done so before because so far at least this does not seem to work when Jaws is running. I’ll check into it a bit more later when I can ask one of my sighted employees to do this first without Jaws and make it works as advertised and then I’ll see if I can figure out a way to do it with Jaws. Of course clearing all entries in File > Options is no problem, but it may not be what you want.
