  1. Windows 10 Pro Reverting Back to Windows 7??


    Win 7 Pro upgraded to Win 10 Pro

    These were upgraded months ago.


    I upgraded a dozens of desktops from Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro. This was months ago.


    All upgraded with no issues except a errant printer or a mapped drive connection.


    This morning it was reported to me that 2 workstations showed the Win 7 End of Life message screen AND were running Win 7 O/S. I could have sworn these were Win 10 but dismissed it as machines that weren't upgraded.


    This afternoon I get another call that 2 more computers were running Win 7. And I know these were Win 10. But I'm not 100% sure due to we have a number of machines that we circulate in and out with HDD replaced with SSD how business application needs all the help it can get. But these computers have been on these desks for a few months per the office staff.


    Is there a issue?



    Thanks,


    Darryl

    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.

    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 Pro Reverting Back to Windows 7??

    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
