Moving Old SSD Into New Computer Build - Stuck at Very End!

[teamsharkie]

I recently built a new computer with all new mobo, gpu, psu, etc. However, I wanted to move my old SSD into the new computer and keep all my existing programs. I used Acronis True Image and Acronis Universal Restore as it can restore an image to dissimilar hardware, which is the case here.

I understand that I had to download all of the necessary drivers beforehand and have it ready since Acronis Universal Restore will need to install those otherwise the system won't boot up. I grabbed the drivers from the Asus website (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z170-A/HelpDesk_Download/) and added the folders for Chipset, Audio, VGA, LAN, USB, and Utilities onto an external hard drive. I then started the new computer and ran Acronis Universal Restore, had all of the drivers installed, and rebooted. The new computer was actually able to boot to my old log-in screen.

However, this is where I'm stuck because neither the mouse or keyboard seem to be working so I cannot enter my password to log in. I've tried plugging them into different ports but none work. I know I added the drivers for USB, but I just can't figure out what's going on. When I restart the computer, the mouse and keyboard work because I am able to go into BIOS. But as soon as it gets to the log-in screen, both stop working. Does anyone have any ideas what went wrong? I'm so close but just can't get past this last step. Thank you!

[EDIT] Forgot to list the main components:

ASUS Z170-A
Intel i7-6700 Skylake
GeForce GTX 970 4gb

Is it a standard keyboard and mouse or some high-end gear?

You do know you'll fail Windows Activation at a fairly early stage, I hope. That system was linked with the BIOS or the old motherboard.

Keyboard is a Logitech K800 with a standard mini-usb receiver and the mouse is a wired Razer Deathadder Chroma. I know that the system was linked with the old BIOS/mobo, which is why I used Acronis. The program is supposed to remove the existing drivers, which is why I had to have all the drivers and chipsets for the new mobo ready. First time I didn't add all of the drivers and it wouldn't boot correctly. But eventually I got it to boot to my old log-in screen. For some reason I just can't get the keyboard and mouse to work.

I don't suppose we're lucky enough to be looking at a touch screen so you invoke the on-screen keyboard. Are you able to borrow a simple mouse with no whizzy features?
