    Upgrade to Windows 10 Education Pitfalls?


    I have my Windows 10 Home set up the way I want it. Because I'm a student, I have a Windows 10 Education key that I can install. The only time I've ever changed Windows versions was on a new machine. I've never done it on a machine that was already configured. Is there anything I should consider?

    1. Are there any features or capabilities in Windows 10 Home that are not in Windows 10 Education?
    2. Will I have to reinstall application software?
    3. Will I have to reconfigure my Windows settings?
    4. Will I be able to revert back painlessly to the old key if I don't like the Education version?
    5. Because the Windows 10 Education license is a bulk license from my university, will I lose any access to support from Microsoft?
    6. Are there any burdens associated with the Windows 10 Education license like periodic proof I'm a student?
    7. Is there any pitfall I haven't asked about here?

    :)

    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.

    Have you tried upgrading by using only the product key?

    Click Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation > Change the product key

    Enter your Windows 10 Education key

    Click Next

    Should be upgraded within 5 to 10 minutes, personal files, apps and settings preserved.

    If the problem persist, I suggest you repair your Windows 10 Home installation first:
