I use VMware fusion (7) with Windows 10 and Jaws/NVDA on my Mac laptop
quite happily.

I used sharpkey to map the key just under escape to insert: ±
I figured that was fairly safe as I don't remember ever using that key, and
you could use an insert-symbol dialogue.

You also have to be careful about system wide keys like cntl-left/right
moving desktop-spaces. I used the VMware options to map cntl-left/right to
alt-left/right, as the standard Mac keyboard short cuts tend to use that
pattern for moving by word, so it matches up better in my mind.

That install of windows is my favourite because it only has browsers &
screenreaders installed, none of the cruft you build up when Windows is
your base system, so it is still quick after several years of use and
upgrades.

HTH,
