Windows 10: Nothing works at all

So I just updated to win10 from win7 and it has given me nothing but problems. Here is a list of features unavailable (when I click them the explorer either crashes, doesn't respond at all, or gives a blank screen):
*I cannot connect to the internet.
*I cannot open network settings.
*I cannot open steam.
* I cannot open wifi settings.
*I cannot open the Change adapter settings tab under Network and sharing center.
*Finally I cannot even revert to Windows 7. The explorer freezes when I click this option.

Admittedly I am terrible with computers and I have no idea what could be causing these issues.

PC specifications:
Desktop
Ram: 8gbs
Graphics: Reason HD 7850 2 gbs
Cpu: Intel core i5 3450
HDD: 2 TBs Seagate Barracuda
SSD: 120 GBs Crucial

Any help is truly appreciated.

How horrible. for ONE day this worked great. Then Start menu, Cortana, Notifications, Volume control, Edge and apps and app store vanish. I can right click on start and volume but that is NOT the point.

So I try the sfc /scannow fix. NO problems. I try the powershell and am told there are errors that can't be downloaded and there is either issues with the apps not existing at all or not enough memory (I have a 4gb ram, 2.13 ghz dual core, 350gb hdd, there
is room , trust me). I try another fix to run the app troubleshooter and it says it cant run on this version of windows............. I tried a batch file to start windows 10 start, didn't work.

My last straw was going here to microsoft live help - and everything I type is visible til I send it, then I can't see a thing, and I couldn't see the microsoft helpers replies. This is garbage. Why let a pre pre pre alpha OS out to people when it does not
work? And there are no fixes.? I put the latest update to fix the start button - does not work. Did nothing. I'm so enraged. I can't go back to 7 because it will delete all my files. That 's how they get you. "Keep your files and it's free to come to 10" then
you do and you get a sub par OS where not a thing works. I bet they come out with a fix for everything and it will be 199 dollars. That's how they get you. I'm so angry.

 

Hiya, Killmeplease..!!
- welcome aboard..*Thumbs

- you have to let the update kinda "rinse".. it takes a while to bed in..
- mind you, it's been quite a while since I upgraded from Win7..
..the only advice I can give in the early stages is "be patient"..

- and keep us abreast of developments.. *Wink

 

I was finally able to get it to allow me to go back to Windows 7, I'm waiting for it to restart now.

 

- hope the roll-back went OK..

- will you be attempting the upgrade again, later?
- if so, don't hesitate to pop in for advice (- and reassurances!*Wink )

 

I might but not anytime soon. Thanks for the help.

 

remember, you can get the free upgrade only until July 29th,2016.... After that date you gonna pay for it, literally..
