I had installed Windows 10 on my Dell desktop computer and within the 30 days, I tried to revert back to my original OS. I needed to do that because of compatibility issues. Everything appeared to go well until the reboot. On the reboot, the system would not give me the normal windows screen. I have a blank (black) screen with only the mouse pointer showing up. I have tried various Windows 7 Recovery discs but with avail. I have been able to get to the last Restore point (using a recovery disk) but after completing that I end up with the same result.
I would appreciate any help that anyone could provide. If a total reinstall is needed with the original Windows 7 discs, is there at least a boot file that gives me access to my personal files on the hard drive to transfer to an external drive? I am afraid will need to reformat the hard-drive and start from square one.
