Windows 10: Windows 7 Cannot Upgrade to Windows 10

So, I'm currently trying to upgrade an HP Pavilion a1520n, Windows 7 Home 32-bit, to Windows 10 Home 32-bit. However, it's proven to be quite stubborn, as I keep getting a bluescreen which is:DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION when I try through USB, waiting it out, while the Windows 10 logo hangs. It slowly loads, but it doesn't ever make it to the Windows 10 startup menu.


The secondary error I get when trying through the Windows 10 Setup application via USB:0xC1900101 - 0x20017

The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation


I have currently tried installing through USB through boot up, and normal desktop, and even tried installing through an external DVD drive on boot up, since the internal one is broken on it. I know the USB and ISO are not faulty, since I can boot up Windows 10 through the BIOS on my personal desktop.

The funny thing is... I've gotten it to work ONCE, when I reset the BIOS setup back to default. Of course, after re-resetting it, I still couldn't get the installation to boot up. :/

In total, I've reset the settings in the BIOS, updated everything had to update GPU manually, since Windows Update would not update it for some reason, disconnected any unneeded USBs from the back, clean installed Windows 7 Home, bought and installed 1x4 GB of DDR SD RAM, and updated the BIOS.

I understand this is a 13 year old computer, and it's pretty amazing how it's survived for so long. If anybody has any sort of ideas, let me know. I've been trying this for probably 3 months now.

The specs are:
GPU- NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Integrated
CPU- AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ / 2 GHz
RAM- 1x4 GB the max for the motherboard, DDR SDRAM
Motherboard- HP Compaq Nagami2-GL8E ASUS A8N-LA

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.

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

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.
