Windows could not be loaded

[Cantaloupeman]

So i came home to my computer today and when i turned it on it said somethig along the lines of System 32 could not be found os not loaded. Could this have anything to do with my recent reinstallation of windows? Or bitdefender and malwarebytes? Thanks in advance and i appreciate any help i can get.

Do you still have the disk? Try and repair the installation.

Have you tried booting into safe mode? How old is the hard disk inside?

Safe mode does not work. They hdd is as old as the pc but the pc is as old as windows 8 i think.

Do you have a second PC on 10? If so, using the media creation tool from Microsoft, make a bootable drive and repair the install.

I'm 80% sure that the problem is in the hard drive.

I do as a matter of fact. It started on windows 7 though. So if i use the media creation tool will windows go back to 7 if i ever reinstall windows?

No. Although if you reinstall windows using a windows 7 disk, it will be 7. Just boot from the USB stick and select the option to repair windows. Don't do a full reinstall or remove your files.

When you create the boot media, I believe it will use the latest version of Windows. So anniversary. And (No offence, but) are you sure you know how installing an OS works? If you reinstall windows in the future, you can install any version you want as long as you have a disc/USB and a licence key for that version.
