Windows 10: Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 fails

Hi


I am running Windows 7 on a Lenovo Thinkpad. I am using the Windows 10 download/install tool from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10ISO


However, the upgrade fails with error: 0x80070008 - 0x3001A. The installation failed in FIRST_BOOT phase with an errorduring BEGIN_FIRST_BOOT operation.



I have tried a couple of times now and same thing has happened. I do not have an external drives plugged in, I have disabled anti-virus, and am running Windows 7 in clean-boot mode. I have tried to browse in the registry to delete the key that is referenced in the error log as I saw on another forum solution but it does not exist. It would be helpful if the error log was a little more descriptive as to what exactly the issue was but hey. Any one else run into this problem before?


There seems to be like 400 different errors so not sure where to start... Windows is fully licensed as well.


Error log is on pastebin:

Thanks in advance

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.

 

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'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.
