So I get an email that asks me to add my name to something. Edge seems to jump in and block me adding my name. I hit on the link and edge seems to be there. How do I get rid of that? Definitely windows 10 is a little different than 7.

You need to set your web browser to the one you like best, or your default browser.
To do this.
Press the windows key. In the search box type default programs. Once that announces press enter.
Now use your tab key to get to browser. Press enter on that.
Now use your tab key again to get to your choice. Press enter.
Now you are finished.
The Edge is supposed to work good with Jaws 18 after Windows updates to the latest version, if your computer doesn’t already have it.
You’ll need the latest version of Jaws 18.
But, in any case, just choose the browser you prefer.

Thanks so much. I have the latest jaws but I don't know anything about what edge does. I did make IE my default program and am glad to do that.

Actually, as far as I'm aware, JAWS 18 (at least for the consumer) does not quite support edge as of yet. However, Freedom scientific did demonstrate a version of JAWS 18 which did support edge somewhat. Maybe that version will be released in the coming months or weeks.
