  1. trying to install windows 10 on a windows 7 desktop, only black screens on loading


    Hello,so I've been trying to install windows 10 on my old desktop, a Dell xps8300. I made a backup an image? of my computer, then made a boot on a USB. Then I put the USB in and tried to boot it with that.I got through the initial screens, put the windows activation key I bought in, and then let it do its thing. Problem is whenever it gets to the next loading screen, it just goes black and doesn't do anything. I've restarted it repeatedly, and it comes up with a menu asking if I want windows 7 or 10; the 'restart or other options' tab I look at only has the option to restart and change 9 set

    :)

  2. Windows 7 black screen of death

    I read a report a little while ago that said the black screens were nothing to do with updates but due to a malicious program (it hit more than just windows 7 users - vista, xp and 2000 were also prone to the black startup screen of death if infected). My windows 7 install is fully up-to-date and i've never had the black startup screen.

    Just run some decent anti virus and you should be safe (i suggest microsoft security essentails since it's free and pretty decent). When you've installed an anti-virus i'd suggest doing a full scen to be sure there's nothing there.

    Try reformatting the drive where you have your Windows 7, and then once you're done reformatting try to reinstall your Windows 7 again.
