Hello I was told by Lenovo that they do not have any separation from the arrows with their keyboards and I like the separation of the arrow keys, not a big separation just to know that they are the arrow keys. Also the rep said, they did not have the application key on the keyboard! Also that I could not turn off my track pad so when I type, I do not move the track pad while I am typing! So any one who has a Lenovo is this correct? Cheers Heather

Subject: [TechTalk] question about installing free windows 10

 

Hi, planning on downloading and installing windows 10 to update my 8.1 computer.

 

question:

 

Can I use a USB keyboard to setup the windows 10 OS on a laptop, or do I have to use the laptop's built in keyboard?  I have really bad neropathy in my hands and can use a USB keyboard with the raised keys, while not being able to differentiate between keys on the laptaop's keys.  If I have to use the laptop's built in keyboard, I'm going to have to find  sighted assistance with upgrading the OS, and that's going to be an issue due to the screen (my wife tells me) looks like someone spilled liquid into the screen.

 

Thanks for any help/info

 

Keith

Yes. It has buttons -

Left side has select
Camera
Messages

Right
Send
Clear
And forgot what next was, will have to try it, see what it does.

There then is Send on the left and End/Power on the right; nothing between.

Then there is the 12-key standard phone keypad. I may have some growing pains with the thing, but definitely worth $30.00.

Best from,

Carolyn

The guy at LG told me, "it reads menus." I remember Gene pointing out
that aspect. It does a thorough job of it, even will tell me, like if
you were in my list, Ann Parks, 102/138. I currently have 138
contacts. I haven't had it 24 hours yet and already am doing lots of
stuff with the thing.
Jim said that phone was made for blind people. It's just that we can
do stuff with things that are accessible; that is the difference.

Hi all,

Carolyn, Which LG did you say this was? Does it make adding contacts
easy? Can you get the battery status? Does it tell you
who texts are
from when you go to the inbox?

I know I was forgetting something, woe. It was the Lenovo think t470. Cheers
