So yesterday I upgraded from my old FX-8350 to a i5-7600K along with a MSI H270 Gaming M3.

Problem is that nothing works properly and it's probably due to lack of drivers but the catch is that I can't install them because everything refuses to install.

I only managed to install one or two drivers, like the ethernet one... USB and others just refuse to install. Any help?
 
Your post reads out like you upgraded your entire system but didn't reinstall your OS after the migration. Is that true on my assumption? If not, mind sharing your full system's specs inclusive of your OS? Please list them as:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
 
Can't really reinstall the OS because I upgraded to Win 10 when it was free and I don't want to go back to Win 7 just to reinstall the OS.

You dont have to go to win 7 to reinstall the OS.

What you do have to do though is put the drive back in your AMD build so it works properly, then assign your win 10 login to a microsoft account (hotmail, live, outlook.etc) and link your license to your account.
Then download the Win 10 media creation tool to download a copy of Win 10 to USB or DVD.
Then move your hard drive back to your Intel setup and then you can do a clean install with the USB/DVD you made, login with yoru microsfot account and you will effectively trasnfered your license to the new hard ware.

There is no other way then this except for buying a totally new windows license. Frankly, we are in no way suprised of the instability after going from AMD to Intel on the same OS install, what surprises us that it even boots at all.
 
Here's a suggestion. Go back to your original setup with the AMD CPU. You need to link your Windows 10 activation to your Microsoft account. http://www.windowscentral.com/how-re-activate-windows-10-after-hardware-change. Now prep a usb thumb drive with with a windows 10 installer. Rebuild your system with the new hardware and reinstall windows 10. You now should be able to reactivate windows 10 thru your Microsoft account.
