Hello again Let me see how much of this I can remember because I can't go back and look since I have already done it. That's the problem with some of us remembering the step-by-step procedure.
You first have to go to the app store. However, before you do that, you want to doupdates on Mavericks as far as you can. In my case, I had a security update that I had to do first. You go to the app store by doing VO m, and voiceover should say Apple. Press down arrow until you hear App Store. Press the return key. Then, I had a button that said update now or something like that. I can't remember exactly what it said. I did voice over keys and space. Then you have to type in your Apple ID password. Then, after taking forever to download the file, you will get some choices about installing. You can check the progress of your download by doing VO right arrow until you hear the percentage. Now here's the thing. When the installation starts, basically your computer goes away for a long time and at somePoint it will tell you that it will restart several times. You do not hear any noises at this point, except your fan coming on to her three times. Actually, that is good news because it means your computer is still active. When it does come back, it will load in voiceover. It will be in the set up assistant, and you can vo right arrow and hear the progress of that. Then it will ask you some questions. I don't think you want to make the mistake I did, because one of the questionsis whether or not you want file volt. I said yes, but today I was told that is really more for people that have need for super security. I said yes to it, but I should've said no.I am sorry, but I can't remember all the questions it asks. Somebody else can pick up and let me know and you know what I left out.
