    Upgraded OEM preinstalled windows 10 home to windows 10 pro.


    I received an unused Windows 10 pro product key from a friend and used it to upgrade my OEM machine from Windows 10 Home that was preinstalled on it to Windows 10 Pro a few minutes ago.

    Will I face any issue if someone else knows my product key? Am I able to return to my previous key if I ever need to?


    Edit: I used the freeware ProduKey to save the keys before I upgraded and after I upgraded. I now have two files: originalkeys.txt and newkeys.txt

    :)

    Windows 10 Release Date Announced

    Windows 10 Home will be $119, Pro $199.

    http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-windows-10-home-costs-119-pro-costs-199



    Which is good news actually, because Windows 8.1 is loads cheaper than previous versions (retail licensing at Windows 7 OEM prices). And it sort of puts a huge hole in the Windows subscription theory.

    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.
