Hello natalyax

To get to Safe Mode in Windows 10, you can follow the instructions given in the second part of this tutorial. The second part explains how you can boot your Windows 10 PC in Safe Mode externally.

If your Windows takes you to the Repair you computer screen, you may want to reset Windows 10 to factory defaults. You can learn how to do so from this tutorial. Although the tutorial focuses on Windows 8, the process to reset Windows 10 is identical with the exception that in the latter, both Refresh and Reset are named under the Reset section with two options viz. keeping or removing your personal files from the PC. You can choose any one as per your preference.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!!

Hello again natalyax

If I am getting it right, your Windows 7 is able to boot normally but shows BSOD when you try to get to Safe Mode.

In this case, you may want to restore your Windows 7 to an earlier restore point - probably to the earliest one that is displayed in the list. Here I am assuming that Windows 10 was downgraded to Windows 7.

You can learn how to restore Windows 7 to a restore point from this post.

After restoring, you can then perform the task of your choice.

Let me know if this works.

Cheers!!

When I go to startup repair it says "Startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically" when I go to system restore it says, "No restore points have been created on your computers system drive." when I go to System image recovery it says, "Windows cannot find a system image on this computer." The only solutiom is a hard disk which I do not have and not recieved when given the computer.

Hello again

Did you scan your system for viruses or malware?

If not yet, you can create a bootable rescue disc and run the scanning process externally. You can download an ISO image of BitDefender Bootable Rescue CD from this link, and this link shows how to create a bootable CD.

After booting your PC using the bootable rescue disc, you can perform a system scan and then retry entering the Safe Mode.

Good Luck!!

Hi nata,

I'm going through almost the exact same problem myself right now. Downgraded from W10 back to W7, BSOD, repair loop, no available restore points, etc. etc. I tried doing a W7 disc repair too, incompatible. I ended up installing Ubuntu onto a USB drive and booting that from the BIOS, and it worked. I used the "try Ubuntu" option so I don't have to format or install anything. Took me a couple hours finding the right files, getting things set up, etc. since I've never so much as touched Ubuntu before.

I'm currently copying all my files from my C drive over to an external drive while I have access to the files. I started a thread of my own for this before I found yours (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2813529/bsod-repair-loop-downgrading-windows-windows.html), so you may want to keep an eye on that since it might help.
