    Windows 10 Upgrade won't work and is wiping my drives


    Hi


    I have been trying to upgrade to W10 from W7 and have encountered the following problem.


    When I try "Create an installationUSB for another PC" it not only fails to download, it has now wiped one USB and one external hard drive which can no longer be opened or formatted. The computer does not recognise either anymore.


    How the hell do I resolve this?


    And how the hell do I get windows 10 installed?


    Each time I try to download it we run to the end and then I'm told Windows 10 has not been installed.


    I am the wrong end of annoyed

    :)

    Windows 10 Upgrade won't work and is wiping my drives

    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.
