Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
I upgraded a Dell Inspiron Desktop to an SSD for the operating system and kept my 1Tb HD a s a second data drive a year ago. Shortly after that I upgraded to windows 8, and a week ago upgraded to 8.1.
Last night after a restart it wont boot up. It goes into some repair process but reverts to a screen that offers restart or advanced option. Advanced options leads to the computer closing down.
Also assuming F8 is for safe mode I cant get into safe mode either.
The SSD with the operating system was running close to full, an prior to this I left the pc running all day with abour 4 virus checkers running.
My only hope appears to be installing windows 7 if there is an iso I can download and using the code on a label on the pc as I have no recollection of how I purchased windows 8.
