    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.

    Windows deactivated after upgrading my PC

    Error: This PC can't be upgraded to Windows 10 while upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that while upgrading to Windows 10 you are receiving an error, we will look into this for you. However, please reply with the following details to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps:



    • What is the make and model of the PC?
    • Are you running the setup by extracting the ISO file?


    I suggest you to refer the article
    "This PC can't be upgraded to Windows 10" error on a computer that has a USB device or SD card attached
    and perform the steps mentioned in it and check if that helps.



    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare
