Windows 10: Having some problems since upgrading to 10...

• 
  I use my TV as a monitor. Resolution was way off since before I upgraded to 10, but circumvented it by scaling the text extra large. Now since upgrading, everything is too big. Text is blurry, icons too big, task bar goes below where I can see. I went to display settings where I know for sure it's the correct resolution and scaling (now at default 100% and still too big). Not sure what to do from here. I looked it up and the solution seems to involve messing with GeForce Experience settings.... I havent been able to open that program for a long time. It wont start. I dont know how to make it start.
  
  
• 
  There's now no sound.
  
  
• 
  Can I safely remove files off internal hard drive if theyre backed up on my external HDD? What I DONT want (and I'm being as cautious as I possibly can here because I cant afford to lose certain files) is to back up in the future, have the External HDD detect that files saved on it are no longer present on the internal hard drive, and for the files to be removed from the external when next backed up (de-synced?). I backed up for the first time ever when upgrading to 10 (bad I know, should've been doing it more) so I really dont know what I'm doing here. Totally lost. But I need to free up space on my internal hard drive, waaaaay too slow.
  

EDIT - Ok, so while looking for a solution to the sound problem, my computer froze and somehow the display problems have corrected themselves? I dont know how or why this happened. Anyhow, the display seems to be fine now. But I still have no sound and still wondering if I can free up space on my internal hard drive without worrying about losing same files on my back up drive somehow. Computer is still incredibly slow.

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.

 

Video card or RAM need upgrading?

Memtest: no errors after 10 hrs.
I'm going to perform the Primetest, later on. Get back to you on that.
I'm going to take it step by step, guys. I need to find the problem with this current computer. I might have to upgrade some components, so that it is still runnable. As for the new one, yes....i will build on it later. I need to find something decent 'gaming experience', all suggestions appreciated. THanks.

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.
