This?

Probably have to let that finish first.

That's what happened to me DethBen

I decided to go back to my previous build which should bring me back to Win8.1 right?

Monitor isn't hdmi, hooked up through DVI

So was mine. When I changed to HDMI it let me see my screen. Then I changed back to dvi after I got to the desktop. Then went to display settings made it only one e monitor

I would try that but my monitor has no HDMI port

Guys this is what i did and it seemed to work (I have an hp laptop and i was running windows 7) Someone in the comments says "when the black screen shows treat it as an login screen, hit enter your password then enter, if you don't have a password you should be able to just hit enter either once or twice. I had a password so once the black screen came i hit enter, my password, enter. and then my laptop screen came on finally!

can one of the gfx cards be disabled in the BIOS while it installed, then install drivers direct from Dell and re-enable it?
I'm at work so cannot test

Dang. Try the windows p and different direction arrow to see if you can find you screen

I tried that when I had a black screen, no luck. It keeps auto repairing and bringing me to the a startup repair screen, everytime I click continue to Windows 10 it does the repair screen and comes back. Stuck in this loop

Hey guys I think I have found a solution:
Now this problem is most likely happening because you have multiple monitors. This was also happening to me and here is how I fixed it: When the black screen appears the login screen should originally appear but due to a bug with multiple monitors it does not. So just pretend that you're on the login screen; press enter, then enter your password (if you have one) and then press enter again. Altough you will not see it, your PC will be now at the desktop. Now perhaps give it some time, let it load so you can do the next step properly. Now press the windows button + P this should throw you to the multiple monitors setting. Now try to somehow blindly navigate (with arrow keys I presume, I personally have no idea how I managed to do it) and press enter, experiment a bit untill your screen will show. If it now shows, press the same buttons again and put it on Primary screen. Sadly this means you will have to use only one screen for a while, until this is resolved. I really hope this helps
