  1. Upgrading Windows 8.1 to 10 fails at 73% every time


    I have a Samsung Ultrabook series 940 that I am trying to upgrade from windows 8.1 to Windows 10. From what I can tell, the PC has all of the technical requirements to run Windows 10. I have purchased and downloaded the media creation tool, and have tried the "Upgrade this PC now" as well as the "create installation media" options. Both options produce the same result: the installation process stops at 73% and I receive a message that says "windows 10 installation has failed". I cannot seem to find any support articles that provide any solutions to this problem. Any help would be greatly

    :)

    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.
