Windows 10: Can't Log Into Windows 10 old computer after building new computer that has Windows 11.

I built a new computer Windows 11 that I used my same Microsoft Account on. Everything works fine. After a few weeks of having my old computer Windows 10 off, the old computer states that my password is incorrect, but I did not change it, and the password worked the day that I built the previous computer. The only change to the old computer is that I am now using a wireless USB connection to log into the internet and not an ethernet connection, as I formerly used. Any ideas?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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.

 

Old HD new Computer?

If you use a old hard drive with files and whatnot on it from a old computer and use it in a new build will the files still be saved or will the setup process wipe them out or how dose that work? Will a personal copy of windows need to be bought if it was just a factory install setup on the old hard drive?

Thanks for any help im still new to building, have done one for myself with no probs but a friend is asking for help with building a new computer with some of his old parts from one that broke. Any info is really appreicated *Toast :toast:
