    Windows 10 upgrade - Black screen, No cursor. Can't revert.


    Okay so I stupidly decided to upgrade to Windows 10.
    I left the install going and went out. When I came home it was stuck on a black screen without a cursor.
    The problem I am facing now is, sometimes I can get the laptop to go to the system restore menu if I screw around with it long enough, but it won't let me in because I don't have a password to log in (I never had one on this laptop) but it still requires one?
    And I can't seem to find any other way to get back to Windows 7, since I usually can't see anything at all?

    :)

    Windows 10 FIRST BOOT phase failure

    Ditto, not helpful at all. All I ever get is a cursor-less black screen mid upgrade. Then when I restart the computer it reverts back to Windows 7.

    Hi itssarahjade and welcome to TenForums.

    When using restore in W10 it will always have a password prompt for user accounts, even if you don't use a password. You should be able to just leave the password box blank and continue.

    I do hope you have all your data backed up?

    I assume you used the Media Creation Tool and did an in-place upgrade to the laptop? Perhaps you can grab an ISO of Windows 10 and try a repair install using it. Be sure to select "keeps apps and files" or "keep files" (whichever you prefer). If it asks for a keycode, just select "skip". If it doesn't show the "skip" option, you have downloaded the the incorrect ISO for your system.

    Yes fortunately I learnt my lesson on backing up many years ago!
    Thank you so much for your suggestions, I believe I have figured it out now.
    Thank you again!
