    Screen blank at boot no cursor


    When I boot, I get a blank screen (w/o cursor). I tried booting into safe mode without success. Computer is Windows 10 originally. I tried using sfc command. Nothing found. Monitor is working. I removed ssd and replaced with another. I could only restore image with one two months old. (I know, I screwed up.) I would really like to get it back working since I have some crucial work on it. Any ideas?

    :)

    blank screen with blinking cursor at boot to win10

    I created the ISO DVD. Booted the computer and after the blue windows logo and dancing dots I got a "Windows Setup" box that says:

    "It looks like you started an upgrade and booted from installation media. If you want to continue with the upgrade, remove the media from your PC and and click Yes. If you want to perform a clean installation instead, click NO.

    I selected Yes for continuing with the upgrade

    My computer went thru the initial boot and got stuck on the blinking cursor again.

    I am afraid to select clean installation because I do not want to loose any of my programs (ie Microsoft Office) or any of my data.

    Any other suggestions?

    Hi Andrewa,

    Thank you for the update.

    You can go back to Windows 7 by using recovery option in Windows 10. This is possible only within the 30 days from the date of upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7.

    If it has passed 30 days, unfortunately recovery option cannot be used to go back to previous version until fresh install.

    Type Settings in search bar and click it > Update and Recovery
    > Recovery > Go back to previous OS

    Also, if you perform clean install, the name itself says clean.

    Do feel free to write to us in case you have any issues/concerns while working on your computer, we'll be happy to assist you.
