Windows 10: Upgrade PC from Windows 7 to Windows 10

Hello


I've been trying to upgrade my Win 7 to Win 10 for the last 3 days without success. Here's my system components


AMD FX 6300 Six Core Processor

RAM 8 GB

GPU Nvidia GeForce 750 GTX Ti

HDD WD 1TB

Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1


and what I've tried so far:


- Upgrade this PC with Media Creation Tool Installation failed, tried this 6 times so far

- Install from USB Drive black screen with cursor at boot, Ctrl+Shift+Esc didn't help, couldn't do anything there but to reboot

- Install from DVD ISO created with MCT Windows logo at boot for a second, then black screen again, same problem as before

- Changed extension of the sources/install.esd file to install.wim and unchecked read only attributes of Boot folder

- Uninstalled antivirus and extra devices, disabled internet connection during install

- Performed sfc /scannow, error checking, disk cleanup, troubleshooting system, windows update, everything seems to be working fine.


Latest error I get is

0x80004005-0x1000A The installation failed in the DOWNLEVEL phase with an error during PREPARE_FIRST_BOOT operation.


Please I need help, I'm very frustrated. Thank you 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.

 

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.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
