Windows 10: Help with windows 10 in-place upgrade

Hi, i recently had issues with my pc, specifically, with gaming, in any 3D game that i play, my fps drops out of nowhere, like for 60 to 30, and they keep it like that for a seconds, to later go to normal ammount, and then do the same, and again and again, wich is really obnoxius, and i tried if not all, almost everything to try solve this issue, i even installed windows again like 3 weeks ago or so, and the problem began a week ago, so the only thing i can think of is doing an in-place upgrade, but i have some concerns...

Will i keep my files, apps, most importantly my games and their data, personal documents just like the way i left them?, Do i need ethernet or can i do it with wi-fi?, Do i have to install the most recent update again? I really hope you can help me to do this or to fix the problem of the fps.

:)

 

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.

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.

 

In-place upgrade - XP to 10 without losing the apps

Wolfgang, you need at least two steps (Vista & Seven) between XP and 10, the Eight can be bypassed:

• XP can only be in-place upgraded to Vista, not Seven or later
• Vista can be in-place upgraded to Seven but not Eight or later
• Seven can be in-place upgraded to 10
• Ergo: XP to Vista is a must, as well as Vista to Seven but then you can bypass the Eight and jump to 10
