Windows 10: Apple Pencil not selecting text after Windows 10 upgrade

I recently went from a Windows 7 virtual machine for work to a Windows10 VM. I use my iPad Pro to log into my VM and I use my Apple Pencil as my mouse. I used to be able to use the pencil to select text in emails Outlook or select cells in Excel, but I am having difficulty doing that now. It thinks I want to scroll instead of select. I've also tried using my finger on the touch screen to select, but to no avail. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Is there a setting I need to turn on?

OneNote Ipad/Apple Pencil

Just got the new 9.7" iPad pro. Terrible palm rejection with Apple Pencil. I think the problem is that OneNote on the 12.9" pro has a toggle for "draw with touch" that essentially turns off drawing with touch when using the pencil. Looks like that option
is missing on OneNote on the 9.7" inch pro.

Anyone know why or if there is any workaround?

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

Windows 10 upgrade rant..

The free space shouldn't prevent you from upgrading to built 1607. I manually upgraded my own laptop which had only 9gigs free space left on the system drive.

I unzipped the Windows 10 Pro anniversary edition ISO on my D drive, and started the upgrade process from there. At one point the installer complained about not having enough free space on the main drive, i just had to point it to the D drive to proceed to the next step. Now the rollback installation is stored there and doesn't clog up the C drive anymore.

In your case you could insert a large sdcard to act as the required rollback drive, i'm pretty sure it would do the trick.

Oh and by the way, if you want to further compress your System files:

• do a search Command Prompt, right-click it, and select Run as administrator.
• Type COMPACT.EXE /CompactOS:always and hit Enter.

You'll will gain anything from 2 to 4 gigs free space after it's done.
