Hi, you haven't given much to go on.
What does your laptop now load to? What does it say on the screen?

I'd personally say get on another PC and create usb tool for windows 10, which architecture was you on x64 or x86/x32 then use the repair tool to fix the bootloader/reinstall.

I, too, have this problem. Yesterday I opened with 10 and the windows icon on the lower left screen opened with all the programs laid out nice and neat and alphabetically. Today that is totally gone and now a grey window opens that looks similar to the old windows 7 (but not the same.) I am not tech savvy, I just like to play a few hands of solitaire. I really liked the new games offered by W10, but they too have all disappeared. Does anyone know how to help? Also, W10 refuses to recognize my HP Photosmart Printer, I guess I have to go buy a cable? It is a wireless printer. Thanks for any help.
