cosrocket Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 My neighbors PC which runs Windows 7 got the hijacked, so he asked me to check it out. I decided to boot into safe mode and run some scans, so when I pressed the F8 key and rebooted, to my surprise instead of booting to Windows 7 safe mode, the Windows 10 splash screen came up and it booted to the Windows 10 installation window. I restarted and the same thing happened. I then did a hard shutdown, and when I turned the PC on again it booted to Windows 7. I then restarted normally and again it booted to the Windows 10 screen and then to the Windows 10 installation window. Did a hard shutdown again and it booted to Windows 7. What can be going on? I am not getting a dual boot screen at all. Why would it boot to the Windows 10 Installation window and is there anything I can do to make it just boot to Windows 7?

farmeunit Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I have not seen that happen, so can't say this would do the trick, but you might try deleting the Windows 10 entry with BCDEdit if that's where it's coming from. http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/data-center/modifying-the-windows-7-boot-loader-with-the-boot-configuration-data-editor-tool/ goretsky, T3X4S and DConnell 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3X4S Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 BCDEdit should help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikedOut Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If you go into MSConfig and go to the boot menu, what do you see in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingbird Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 It means that he gets a free upgrade to Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
