Hello Kawal Kawal, You’re definitely correct about JAWS authorization being erased when a drive is reformatted. In fact in my experience, JAWS even deactivates when the Boot Camp support software is repaired or uninstalled. Not needing to worry about this would be a definite advantage. For thos

Hi Eileen, If you’re talking about the Win8PE project that includes NVDA and thus can be used as a talking installer, that definitely can work with 64-BIT machines as well. Now, that’s not to say that it will work on a Mac, as there are other issues to be aware of, for example, a lack of audio

1 thing I will add here is. YOu can reinstall fusion after a clean install on the same machine. But if you get a new machine, jaws will have to be activated with a new authorizationn key. But like the previous poster said, just call freedom scientific and request one, and you are good to go.

Hi, to answer the question about installing Windows in BootCamp without sighted assistance still stands and requires sighted assistance. I know there has been some discussion about using a talking installer, but it's only for a 32 bit machine. Regarding the JAWS license, if you are out of autho

Another advantage of VMware is if you have Jaws on your Window machine, you will not lose the licence as you can cut and paste your Windows Virtual machine anywhere you like. As long as you tell your VMware that you moved the machine and not done anything else with it, you will not lose your li

Hi, I would add a few things to this. If you use Fusion, you can keep a backup of your VM, or VMs anywhere you like, so even if you have to reinstall OS X from scratch, you don’t have to lose your VM, or have it backed up by Time Machine. You can share files and folders between the two, and la

Hi, This is totally personal preference. It alldepends on how much you will use the Windows side. For me, I am still out on the fence which way I'll go this time. I had BootCamp installed on my MacBook Air 2013, but needed to wipe out the entire machine because of a horrific hack Window side.
