How can I return to windows 7? The windows.old is deleted... I need my files so I can not format!
Without the Windows.Old folder you cannot go back while keeping your files intact + with no extra problems, except if you have made a system backup/image of the system prior installing Windows 10. The best way to revert back is by using installation media & delete all partitions so you perform a clean install that doesn't cause problems.
Time is not relevant, the only thing that is relevant is that mixed memory can cause problems, either immediately or in a matter of time.But my computer is running with different RAM sticks 4 years!
I recommend that you cleanup all your partitions to increase the free space to at least 15% on EACH partition, not enough free space can annoy the user about Windows background stuff and can cause BSODs too (it happens rarely though).
Is possible for the crass to be due to a confict? I was getting the BSOD about 5 or 6 times per day! After uninstalling MSE I am getting the BSOD 1 or maybe 2 times per day... Is it possible that I still have some windows 7 files that sould have been deleted with the update?
Many BSODs lately are caused by driver conflicts with Malwarebytes & Bitdefender.
When you do the upgrade there will be leftovers from the previous OS, you should be able to get rid of them by deleting the Windows.Old folder.
Windows.old is deleted using Disk Cleanup, but I still get the BSOD... I used my RAM sticks to another computer and they were working without any problem... So I am sure to say that it is not a hardware problem!
What about this? Both dmp files were created from a BSOD with the same problem PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGES_AREA(Fltmgr.sys) BUT they have some differences... What do you think?
What we think is not important, what is important is that you use only 1 memory model and make at the same time, if it is faulty or not or that you've used it for a long time is not relevant!

BEFORE doing more tests, when I am opening my computer it asks me from where I want to boot but I have only one operating system in my computer so the only option is the Windows 10 from my knowledge I should not get this screen before booting. Also, I have a driver in the E: Hard Disc that might be a bit outdated its the arduino's one, I am not sure if they have released a Windows 10 driver... In addition, I tried to Auto-Repair the Windows, and it saved a log in another Hard Disc the H: in a new Windows folder which does not exist. Any idea?
The focus is solving BSODs, anything else should be done later.
For the boot question, checked the boot order in the BIOS?
Did you increase the free space on your partitions?
First boot is cd/dvd as usually, I am asking because this might show that windows 7 were not unistalled successfully. I thought that there might be some functional files from windows 7 that cause confict with the windows 10 files. I have my computer 2 days open and is never crashed if it was a hardware problem, RAM, HDD. CPU etc. it should have "died"... I am willing to hear your opinion, I might be wrong...
