Windows 10: Windows 7 to 10 Upgrade freezing on update portion, how can I fix this?

I tried upgrading my windows 7 laptop to windows 10 with the windows 10 installation media, now I'm stuck in recovery mode without an administrator account, and because of that I can't do anything on startup repair except reset it and get the same error/freeze again, how can I fix this?

FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

Yeah, I've been noting it for months on the refusenik thread. They do NOT want anything older than 10 running.

I still have an HTPC on W7, and every other month I have to fix the update agent in order to get all updates. SMH....

You provided a good step by step fix. I've bookmarked it for future reference.

 

FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

I tried a clean windows 10 install but my old laptop hates windows 10, either it freezes up in the installation process or it freezes up loading windows or while in windows.
Even replaced the HDD for a brandnew SSD and tried installing 10, same problem.*Frown
Also installing windows 8.1 did not work either.*Frown
Someone said the freezing problem might come from win 8.1/10 power savings features and I might need a new BIOS, but there aren't any newer available anymore for this laptop.

I'm waiting for some empty dvd's so I can create a system recovery from windows 7.
Then I'll install the SSD and try to install windows 7 on it.
It should all run well after that.
I'll be giving this laptop to my dad.

 

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.
