Hi Tris How would you ascertain what version of Windows 8 is running on a machine then? I'm asking on behalf of a friend not subscribed. They have seen a laptop in PC World they might want to buy, but need to know what version of Windows 8 is on it. I think the staff are probably as helpful as a chocolate fireguard! I've not seen Windows 8, so can't really help.

The vast majority of machines will have Windows 8.0 Pro on which therefore require a JAWS Professional licensing. There are however some machines with Windows 8.0 (no suffix). This is equivalent to a Windows Home Premium and therefore only require a JAWS standard license. Hope this helps. Regards.

I am trying to seek clarification for someone who is thinking of purchasing a laptop, but has been advised that only JAWS Professional works under Windows 8. Many thanks.
