Problem with new build and peripherals

Hello people of technology. I just built a new Pc and used only my old ssd and hdd so I didn't have to install Windows again. First of all I have a failed to create an open GL context which from speculations I believe is the graphics card driver so I'll get that done. But my big problem is that my keyboard and mouse is not working after the windows startup screen. They turn on and after that they turn off. I tried all my USB ports and nothing. What could that be? I've also just noticed that my ethernet problem is not working either. I haven't done any bios updates if that helps. And my Pc does not have a disc reader.

You really can't just swap an old install of Windows to a new computer. There's tons of computer-specific configuration in there. You'll almost certainly have to reinstall Windows, as well as install drivers for your new motherboard.

You need to make a bootable windows installer disk and install windows that way. You'll also probably have to buy windows again if it's really a new PC. If you have important data you'll have to get it some other way like a Linux liveUSB or something.

Ok I guess I'll try that. Thank you very much for the advise
