my current laptop is a 17inch monitor with an NVidia card maybe a g fours
7800 or something like that. The new one I am looking at will be a 15.6
monitor also with an NVidia card, but not sure which one

I think for the same computer or same display hardware, that should be
safe. The problems arise when the display DPI changes from the
standard value, which can happen on high-end laptop display hardware
nowadays.

HSC and other scripts that rely on pixel coordinates can fail on
high-resolution laptops running Windows 7 or 8.x. The reason is a bit
messy to explain but has to do with changes in the coordinate system
resulting from the high screen resolution. I've always assumed that
lowering the screen resolution would fix this on such machines, but I
have not tested that theory.
So yes, if you can, try it out before committing.

I do not use HotSpot Clicker.
However I would caution that applications that JAWS relies on its OSM to use
may not work the same in Win 8.1. Some do, many seem not to in my
experience.
Unfortunately you'll have to try your application.

Hi all,
I am contemplating buying a new laptop with windows 8.1. Any major issues
with Jaws in 8.1? Specifically with graphics recognition and the use of
Hotspot clicker? I use an application for D.J'ing that I have scripted and
also make use of HSC. I am currently using Jaws 15 on windows 7. I am
trying to decide if I should stay with win 7 or move to 8.1? any
thoughts???
THANKS!!!
