Windows 10: 'You can't run Windows 10 on this computer' - I cannot update or even restore/reset my PC....

I am having a pretty serious and to my level of skill , unfixable issue with my HP Spectre x360 15 (2017-18 model - I bought it Summer 2018 @ Best Buy. Not sure if there's two different models sorry so it's a 2017, or if there's and 18 then it's a 2018 model - I will go check to make sure when I get home and update the post)

I am pretty good with computers, at least used to be till around when windows 7 happened and then I had to much to do in general and wasn't even using a PC until I got this so I'm like behind the times with my pc knowledge.

Anyway, I go to update the pc , every update installed except one, and it gives me and error saying "this computer can't run windows 10" . I've tried literally everything. I am about to do a disc defrag, which is literally the last option I can think of. There is like nothing on my hard drive besides WoW, SWTOR, netflix, hulu, steam, battle.net, some notepad I got from MS store. I am the only user of the PC. I've ran HPs included troubleshooter, system tune up, the OS checker.I've ran the free up space option in system settings > storage . I have ran all of my antivirus stuff (the windows built in antivirus) .

I do not know what to do.

.....ANNDDDDD here the crazy part: I even tried every way of rolling back the os or basically doing a factory reset and it says it failed everytime .

What is going on ? I am so lost . My warranty ran out in December and I really don't wanna pay someone to fix this . This thing was like $2k and I need it to work properly. Well that last part going without saying . But yeah, very odd and any help/tips is greatly appreciated !

Thanks,

The Users list compared to the Profile list you posted earlier tell me there is not an issue with Users (a known issue where there is a profile in the list, but not actual User folder).

The error code suggests corruption in the CBS manifest:

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 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
