  1. cant activate windows 10 pro after upgrading to motherboard that had windows 10 home


    so i just bought a processor, motherboard and ram second hand to upgrade my pc

    once i installed everything and loaded up, it told me to activate windows, but when i go into the activation menu in settings it gives me "windows found no product on your device. I had windows 10 pro, which was a free upgrade from windows 7, and im guessing the person who owned the board before had windows 10 home.

    I dont have a license key as was never given 1, and dont want to have to buy or reinstall windows, and when trying to reach microsoft live chat I didnt have any other option for here, so any help greatly appreciated cant activate windows 10 pro after upgrading to motherboard that had windows 10 home :)

    :)

    I bought Windows 7 Pro OEM key from G2Play.net for 12€ to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro - worked like a charm but be advised if you buy a OEM key you can not download the Win 7 iso from microsoft and have to get it elsewhere.

    cant activate windows 10 pro after upgrading to motherboard that had windows 10 home

    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.
