A Microsoft OS will still support hot keys and tabs and will show when you've got to the correct key. Then press Return or Enter. It's slow, but you'll get there.

 

You'll also appreciate the mouse like you haven't for a very long time

Turn on your 'use mouse keys' option.

 

hit the 'window' button (3rd or 4th in from botttom left on keyboard).

 

type 'ease of access' and navigate using your up/down arrows and/or the 'Alt' button + 'enter' to navigate your way around.

 

Hitting the 'space' bar puts a tick in the box you are on, and off again if you make a bad selection.

 

btw, there are some great keyboard shortcuts, although what I think is cool may not be what you think is cool, google them but BEWARE, there is one that turns your pc off instantly losing all unsaved data.
