Black Screen after login- Intel Q35
My HP dc7800 slim line machine (no additional slot to put a new Video card into the machine) running Windows 7 Pro 32bit automatically updated to Windows 10 and everything went fine. However, after the upgrade the machine I see the screen where I can log in but after that when the machine gets to where there should be a desktop I just have a black screen and a cursor. The machine has the Intel Q35 Express Chipset that encompasses the graphics driver (Intel Q35 Express). I have tried to get the machine to use the Windows Basic Video driver but it will not let me. There is no update for the driver and according to Intel there is no Windows 10 driver for the Q35.
I figure that from everything I have read that there is no driver I can use so I need to return the machine to the Windows 7 set up. However, I can only boot into Safe Mode and can not find who to get the machine to revert.
Any help with this would be appreciated. How do I get the machine to revert to Windows 7 since it has not been 30 days since the upgrade. OR, does anyone have an idea if there is a driver I can use with the integrated video chip and Intel Q35 Express Chipset embedded driver for Windows 10 Pro 32bit.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
