Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

So recently i was checking if my old pavilion was working, it was, booted into windows ect. But, i found that the mouse and keyboard where unresponsive. I did the usual checks, different usb ports, made sure peripherals worked and when i was doing this i noticed that both worked in bios so my next step was to make the jump to win 10 and set off installing it over usb. It was going fine until i reached the first prompt where i noticed that once again my peripherals didn't work and iv been stumped on this for a while and was wondering how to proceed. 

Any help would be great thanks.

Your PC must be REALLY OLD -- as the only specs I could find for that series indicate it came with Windows ME -- over 19 years ago!

 

IF that really is the case, there's no possibility that it is going to work with Win10 as the hardware is simply way too old.

The case indicated it was made for xp... but still in that OS peripherals don't work, i was thinking it may be a bios issue?
