  1. Upgrading Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10, why is it upgrading me to Home edition rather...


    I am trying to upgrade an activated copy of Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10. I have read up on this other forum post that Windows 7 Ultimate should upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, not Home. When I tried to run the Windows 10 setup program to upgrade, it said that I would be upgrading to Windows 10 Home. I am wondering what is the cause of this here and am I actually eligible to upgrade to Pro?Thanks,Kiet

    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.

    Can I upgrade to windows 10 from windows 7 ultimate?


    Hello R08Y, Upgrading Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10, why is it upgrading me to Home edition rather... :)

    Yes, you can upgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro. If you don't have the SP1 update installed in Windows 7 Ultimate, then you just may not be able to keep everything when upgrading to Windows 10. You can verify before starting the actual upgrade at step 15 below, and safely close Windows 10 Setup at this step to cancel the upgrade if wanted.
