    Should i upgrade to windows 10 from Windows 7 Professional to run 4k


    Hi i have windows 7 Pro and I am thinking of moving from 2 x Full HD 27 inch monitors to 4k or maybe just 2k.

    System Specs:
    INTEL CORE i5 2500K 3.3GHz 6MB
    COOLERMASTER HYPER TX-3 CPU COOLER
    ASRock Z68-EXTREME4 DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD
    XFX CORE EDITION 650W 80PLUS PSU
    G.SKILL 8GB KIT DDR3 RIPJAWS X C9 1600MHZ
    SAMSUNG SPINPOINT F3 3.5" 1TB
    OCZ VERTEX 2 120GB SSD 285/275 R/W/MB

    CORSAIR OBSIDIAN 650D GAMING CASE

    Main uses: remote work from home so excel and word, outlook but also web browsing, youtube . The odd game.

    I realise i need a new GPU (any recommendations ) and was thinking of a ASUS Radeon RX 580 DUAL OC 8GB GDDR5 as it has multiple display port such that the 2 monitors could both be display port run instead of 1 HDMI and 1 DP.

    I have a activated Windows 7 Pro version and I assume i can upgrade to windows 10 based on system specs and tutorials I have seen here.

    #i assume i could run both screens at 2k if it taxes the new GPU and old CPU too much, and then plan to buy a new CPU/mobo

    :)

    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.

  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.
