For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Sounds like it fell down during the installation - To get you back to 7 we have to complete the 10 installation to tidy things up.
1. Delete all files in the Windows/softwaredistribution/download folder.
Go to command prompt and right click on it and select "as administrator" then type in wuauclt.exe/updatenow to get it started again.
In case this doesnt work was your Win 7 a disk or preloaded.

wiping and starting again is no big deal but as Win 7 is quite old it will be a long process. I hope you backed up all your stuff before you started. Ok insert the Win 7 disk into your dvd drive restart the machine and keep tapping the F2 key till the bios opens - change the boot order to dvd drive first and save and exit - that will take you into Win 7 setup so just amend your options as offered as it goes. Once it finishes you will have several hours of tapping windows update to get it all back up to date. Do you have access to the internet from another machine to download a small program called drivereasy www.drivereasy.com - and put it on a stick if you wifi isnt working. It will tell you what your various hardware is and offer the latest drivers. Do the wifi first. As soon as you run out of updates set a system restore point if everything is ok.

UKbod - thx for the comment
I am printer allergic
It was a lexmark and so i rezipped ( well re-un-zipped ) an old driver and it worked - as well as it was before hand ( not that well ).
but Lexmark are plagued with the dreaded and terminal AIOC error which once present is kinda permanent
This has happened twice before - once a few days before a court document deadline and now before my tax deadline
thx again

The message says Packard bell in the top left corner followed by this operating system is not supported by this application.
the computer is working but is somehow between windows 7 and windows 10,and as ukbod says it seems like the installation of windows 10 did not complete for some reason. The main problem is I can't access settings as a click just does nothing so I can't go back to windows 7 or complete the windows 10 setup.I am just not knowledgeable to do anything too drastic.
