This came up in a Windows 10 Forum recently. These people say to use a PS2 keyboard or PS@ to USB converter not USB or wireless. In another post I think I read that after the keyboard starts working you can swap it out.

Windows 10 (duh)
This issue affects mainly cheap motherboards and/or peripherals with improper support for legacy usb (bios-provided drivers for usb mouse and keyboard)
The best bet is to use a PS/2 keyboard/mouse or a USB-to-PS/2 adapter to pass the installation phase. Afterwards, your hardware will work again.
Otherwise, there is not much to do. You might even lock yourself out of bios and boot menu if you toggle legacy usb off/on

AveYo's recommendation is right. I always keep an old ps2 keyboard around. Even for my system, which is pretty up to date, the bios doesn't recognize a usb keyboard. As was mentioned you can get an adapter that should work as well. Good way to free up a usb port as well.
