Windows 10: Error 0x80072F8F with MediaCreationTool in Windows 7 for upgrade to Windows 10

I am trying to upgrade an HP EliteBook 8470p laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I downloaded the MediaCreationTool_22H2.exe program from the Windows 10 download site. On launching, a logo appears briefly and shortly thereafter I get a notice indicating a problem and reporting the error as 0x80072F8F-0x20000. I've gone through the activation protocol for Windows 7 successfully. The system is updated with all required Windows 7 updates, and set to synchronize automatically with 'time.windows.com'.How can I troubleshoot this problem? Are there alternatives to achieve the upgrade i.e just r

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.

"This step may not be needed for Windows 8."

I wish Ramesh would revise this.
