PC won't boot past sign in screen (squeak squeak)
I have similar issue. Just the start up, log in screen, won't open anything after that. I got a virus last year. It installed windows 7 on a preinstalled windows 8 PC. I took to Geek Squad who absolutely messed up my PC. Put in three new mother boards. Who does that? Two new fans (they installed wrong drivers for MB and did something to the fan). Finally in exasperation called HP who "STANDS BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS" and after being shipped across the US this time total 12 times, they rebuilt me a PC, preinstalled with Win10. Want to know what? It has the same thing "backup to win7". I have NO idea what is going on here. My original PC had never said or referenced Win7, ever. Nothing had a date earlier than 07/30/2013 - the preinstalled Win8. I bought the Pro, the 8.1 and then got the 10 but it took some manipulating. Now with the new, preinstalled win10, it says "backup your win7". I can't believe it. Why would this be??? I'm at this point. I could go on but won't. I want to follow your thread and see if anyone comes up with a solution. I needed a repair disk, a boot disk and wanted to back up my PC but it defaults to Win 7. So (?)Sure appreciate your notes though. The wheel in the hub goes round and round, squeak squeak squeak.
