At times, when you boot your Windows 10/8/7 system, you may reach up to the Welcome screen, but then it stays blank. While there are a lot of fixes being posted, the one I am posting now is the one that worked for me and a few people I helped.
Windows 10 boots to Blank or Black Screen
1] The first step I recommend is to run the Startup Repair because it’s used to fix boot issues. It would check the consistency of files required to boot like Boot Manager, etc.
2] If Startup Repair fails then the next step is run System File Checker. I know your system won’t boot but you could run from Recovery Tools. You may follow this tutorial I have posted on my blog, till Step 6.
Click on “Command Prompt” and run SFC /SCANNOW.
3] If this does not help, then we have to Restore MBR. Sometimes a bad MBR can cause the system not to boot. We will have to use the Bootrec.exe Tool.

Why can’t I find “System Recovery Options” ? I have tried F8 but not such screenshot as the one above. I’m running an Acer laptop pre-installed Win7.
No disc. I’ve typed System Recovery in search but nothing ? Should I look elsewhere.
Thanks

Just burn the ISO to a disc and you can boot from it. The only thing you cannot do is claim it as your own without a purchased serial number, but you can use it to fix your already installed WIN7 OS.
