Windows 10: Upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10

Hi,

I have a HP Pavilion and it had windows 7 on it. On the morning of 25th May, IST, I decided to upgrade the windows 7 to 10 as I found the windows 10 key which had had been bought earlier. From the morning of the 25th to the morning of 26th May, 4 AM IST, I have tried my best to install windows 10. I had to download it twice and then wait for almost 3-4 hours to get the OS installed but I ran into problems. Earlier there was some issue with the graphics and everything was magnified. I did system restore to windows 7 and then tried to install windows 10 again. This time I couldnt eveng to the login screen. There been errors everywhere. It was not booting so I decided to reset the laptop without erasing the data. When that was done, the windows started repairing disk errors saying it will take an hour to be fixed. I waited and then too it doesnt start. It gets stuck after I select windows 10 as the operating system. There's just a blank screen. Once or twice I get the message that windows is getting ready but then it reboots and I get no login screen.

I dont want to go for a clean install or anything. Just want windows 10 working normally. Please help.

:)

 

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.

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.
