  1. Help ! Recently installed the "free" upgrade to Windows 10 from Win 7 64bit...and I can't...


    I've tried googling everything, the only reason I'm able to be on reddit, is because I did a reinstall for the 2nd time and haven't rebooted my machine. I'm terrified to even try lol

    I didn't add anything to the machine after install except mozilla firefox. The first thing I did was updated to the latest drivers for my video card this time.

    I've ran a check for corrupted files and it said it found "a few" but wasn't able to fix them all.

    The only drive I did a clean install on was the C;/ drive Windows was on. My D:/ drive is just an extra hard drive for storage and games.

    I was considering unplugging the D drive and trying a reboot but I'm too nervous it will fail again Help ! Recently installed the "free" upgrade to Windows 10 from Win 7 64bit...and I can't... :(

    anyone use the free upgrade ??? and have this problem? and found the solution? figured the reddit experts would know.

  3. 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.

    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.
