    Upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10


    I am trying to upgrade my OS from a Windows embedded 8.1 industrial pro license to Windows 10. After some cursory searches CNET and Forbes mentioned that the MS media creation tool, which was tied to a free offer OS upgrade over to Windows 10 in 2017 still worked if you have your product key, which I do.

    I installed the media creation tool from the link below and ran it, but I got this error"the language or edition of the version of windows currently installed on your PC isn't supported by this tool." I have run it both on English US and English Canadian and I originally got the licenses through a educational promotion.

    Please let me know if you're aware of a work around.

    Thank you

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    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.
