  1. Windows 10 Pro upgrade won't work, activation troubleshooter unable to fix


    Hi,I had a working valid copy of Windows 10 Home on my laptop and wanted to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. I looked at the activation details and it said I had a digital license, so I went to the Windows App Store to purchase a digital license for Windows 10 Pro and completed the purchase. I then clicked "Install" from the store, and it errored out and did not install. I tried restarting my computer and running Windows Update a few times, the store prompted me to "Install" Windows 10 Pro again and I tried and it kept saying it was erroring out and unable to install, and clicking "Try Again" repeat

    :)

    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.
