Sounds like your Windows 7 install was pretty crappy. 

Backup your stuff, and reinstall Windows 10 as a fresh copy. Just use the mediacreation tool. You shouldn't need a key or anything, as your hardware is activated. 

it was preintalled on this pc

Firstly, can you please use proper grammar + punctuation? You have no idea how hard your question is to read.

In answer to the question, what PC are you using, and what happens when you click on certain applications?

If I've said something wrong, please correct me

so I installed windows 10 upgraded from windows 7 and when i log into my pc it launches fine but I can't access the start menu or search bar and apps won't work only things that work are explorer and other windows 7 programs

I would say just install a fresh copy it was working perfectly for me.

they call everything apps in windows 10 for some fucken reason

You are not really describing your issue very clearly.

Nothing in Windows, that comes provided by Microsoft, is going to tell you your trial has expired.

 

You are talking about a 3rd party program/app that had a trial period and no longer works. Did you use some sort of start menu replacement that may have expired, or becomes unlicensed after upgrading?

Okay, now on a more serious note, try this.

  • Take a pic of your screen, with prntscrn or just a camera, and post it here.
  • Try contacting Microsoft Support.
  • Reinstall Windows 10.

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

You can probably find it in the settings, recovery and find the option to wipe windows and refresh it.  Do that.  

 

Also, make sure your Windows was actually clean.   Like keep in mind cleaning your registry, installing programs that are coded really crappy and also deleting programs manually without running the uninstaller all leads to bad maintained operating systems.  

 

A network engineer I know has used the same Windows 7 for over 5 years because he always used good programs, never cleaned his registry and also always kept his computer secure.
