Got a BSOD after using program
StylishHokie:
Yeah, I'm not sure if I had the latest update or not. My dad is going to move over all my files from that partition then delete and perform a clean install. I need to make sure next time I'm prepared for situations like this. I'll be sure to make use of system restore this time. Thanks for your help!

It sounds like you have a useful dad :)
If you go Start - type control panel and press enter when it comes up, in All Control Panel Items you will see an item for back up and restore.
Click on that and you will see the option for Create a system image in the left pane.
You can either save this onto DVDs or an external HDD and you would boot up with the install media to select restore with system image.
This is more reliable than restore points.
If you do need to recover with the system image, insert the external HDD before you select that option in the Recovery Environment.

I've recently had problems with one of my Win 10 laptops where it wouldn't boot beyond Attempting Automatic Repair and when booting up with an install USB, it would only go to the Win 10 log.
I remembered I had a Hiren's Boot Disk which booted up Windows where I was able to run -
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
and sfc /scannow
I was then able to boot into the Recovery Environtment's Command prompt and run -
bootrec /rebuildbcd
bootrec /fixmbr
where the machine booted up normal.
My version is the 15.2 one and while it was only designed for up to Win 7, it did the job.
If I'd remembered about that disk, that may have saved the recovery work your dad did for you.

You'll probably need Imgburn to create the bootable DVD - https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/imgburn.html
I thought I'd let you know about that disk as it may be prudent to create the disk should you come unstuck again.
