The biggest issue is that you are attempting to move Windows 7. Windows 7 did not like to be moved to different hardware at all. You should have run sysprep on Windows 7 on the old computer first. Also sevenforums might be a better forum to ask about moving Windows 7 than tenforums.
Could you upgrade the old computer to Windows 10 first, then move the Windows 10?

I did as per yours but again blue screen. I think my windows may be corrupted. I am planning to Repair the window. Do I need windows cd or it can be repaired with windows installation folder kept on the hard drive.

You may be right that Win 7 did not like to be move on different hardware.
Regarding Win 10, my old pc was not compatible for Win 10.
It is not all that uncommon to move win7 to different hardware. I think paragon were the first to provide "adjust to different hardware" module way back in 2009, iirc.
I have done it many times using paragon.
Does it tell you there are drivers needed?
Try running different software - either from paragon, or the O&O diskimage. They might be better suited to what you are doing.
I tried to fresh install win 7 but now wireless mouse and keyboard not working. I do not know whether Usb mouse will work or not. Tomorrow I will try to arrange PS2 mouse keyboard and will see what happen.
Any guidance please.

No, it did not tell any driver needed. But all software provider give this option of adjusting to different hardware in paid version and I do not want to spend money as this Win 7 is not that important to me.
No, you don't need to buy software. O&O is doing free giveaway of diskimage 14 pro. Paragon rescue kit 14 contains bootable linux media with adjust to different hardware.
You didn't say which Asus H81 you have. Does it not have 2 x usb2 ports at the back?
Better to ask at windows seven forums for any help with windows 7.
Yes Asus have 2 x usb port at back and also in front. I normally use front one and wireless mouse keyboard are working if I use Win 10.
Even booting win 7 install usb but while installing win 7 wireless mouse keyboard not works. I think even if I connect the wireless mouse device at back, even then it will not work at the time of win 7 install.
Ask at windows seven forums. There you will be advised how to integrate usb3 stack . It is quite easy.
I checked my Win 7 on old pc. It is not corrupt and booting on old pc. Now I will try to install fresh Win 7 on new pc. But before that I will have to arrange ps2 keyboard and mouse.

Update- I tried to do fresh Win 7 install. Received error that a required driver is missing. Please browse to the location of the driver. I had copied driver from motherboard cd to partition E and even unzipped the zip files. I gave the location but it said no driver found. It is strange that it did not found driver in the motherboard. Any guidance. Which driver it is asking which is not in the MOBO drivers.

I used ps2 keyboard mouse but received the same message.
Somehow I chanced upon a win 7 install ISO in which usb 3.0 drivers were slipstreamed. I tried this one and it successfully installed. Though it took time to install.

But MS toolkit and other Activators are crashing while trying to Activate the Windows.
Any Idea.
