Windows 10: Failed upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 v2004

I wish to upgrade my 2010 Sony Vaio W7Pro x64bit to W10 Pro. I have tried two methods: from the website, making a Creation Tool, and a W10 Pro v2004 x64bit media DVD. Both processes run almost to the end but neither will complete.

I get a variety of error messages, the most recent using DVD being 'update setup'. Does this refer to W7 or W10?

Since W7 no longer supported I collect many Mb of failed W7Pro updates in the software distribution folder frequently emptied.

I believe I may have a corrupt Bluetooth peripheral device file, shown in Device Manager, but after uninstall, it returns on reboot. I do not use a Bluetooth peripheral device, e.g. printer. I have tried so many times, read so many Community conversations, forums, etc, etc. but cannot solve the puzzle.

I have run scannow, health scan, all OK. As far as I know, there are no system errors or corrupt apps or files.

I have tried running direct from DVD on startup, but no luck.

What can I do?

Any help welcome.

:)

 

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.

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

i've seen this when the stock USB drivers went kaput. Only ever seen it once - i used a PCI USB 2.0 card and connected the mouse and keyboard to that, and manually updated the USB 2/USB 3 drivers.
