Hi Shaun, I wouldn't worry too much about Windows 10 accessibility. Accessibility on Windows has been improving with each release, and the version of Narrator that comes with Windows 8.1 is a huge improvement over that of the version that comes with Windows 7 and earlier. I expect to see Narrator has improved in Windows 10 plus Jaws and NVDA will certainly be available as well.
However, as to running PC games on your mobile phone that won't happen unless they are written in one of the .NET languages. The reason has to do with major differences in hardware such as CPU. When a Windows application written in say C++ is compiled it is specifically compiled for a specific processor type such as Intel or AMD. If you happen to have a Windows phone using an Arm processor that program isn't going to run because it is the wrong type of CPU. Unfortunately, all the games written in visual Basic 6 are going to have this specific issue since they are all compiled for the Intel family of processors. Another issue with PC games is they probably accept keyboard input and nothing but keyboard input. Naturally all modern smartphones use touchscreens which is a totally different interface. If there is no space key to fire and arrow key to move the game isn't going to know what to do with your touchscreen requiring a keyboard to be plugged into your phone. It would be better for the games input handling to be rewritten for the phone rather than someone grabbing a game meant for a desktop/laptop and expecting it to work on a Windows smartphone. Bottom line, if you think you can buy a Windows phone and start running all your favorite games on it you got another thing coming. Games can be ported to the phone, but not without a bit of time and work. Cheers!
