Hi @marvinh
VMware Workstation Player tends to be more accessible than VirtualBox, but this can depend on your specific setup and needs. It’s unfortunate that audio and Windows Narrator are not accessible during the installation of Windows Server 2016. This is a known challenge. One workaround, though not ideal, is indeed to have sighted assistance for the initial setup.
The accessibility of online virtual labs, lessons and quizzes should be compatible with screen readers like JAWS for Windows. However, this might not always the case. Your experience can help improve accessibility for future users.
Your curiosity and willingness to engage with these technologies are commendable, and while there may be challenges we appreciate your feedback.
If you need any assistance do let us know posting it here.
Ricardo.
