Windows 10: Upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10 Pro

I'd like to upgrade my Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10 Pro. Which version of 10 Pro will upgrade, while leaving my existing programs & files intact? I need to do this before Windows 7 is phased out.


I see Frys Electronics is selling an "OEM" version of 10 Pro. Will this version work for me? Does it provide support from Microsoft if I need it?

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.

 

Windows 7 Home Premium -> Professional Upgrade

Sorry for posting in this "old" topic but I also have a question regarding this problem:
I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Version 32 bit and I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. The Home Premium was not a OEM version and now I wanted to buy a OEM Windows 7 Pro version which costs 30€. Is it possible to upgrade a non OEM version with a OEM version or is this not working?

Many thanks in advance!

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.
