It sounded like you upgraded with a bogus copy of Windows. Anything could be your problem when not using the genuine product.

While people think they're "getting over" on the software manufacturer, the warez distributors are "getting over" on you.

 

Hello Bszx,

Boot up in safe mode: tapping the F8 or F5 key.

You should have at least 2 choices - continue in safe mode or access to System Restore (or last known good configuration). See if there is a Restore Point and restore the system.

BTW, you should give us the "make & model" when you ask questions like these. What brand of computer and how old?

And, please take a lesson from this - BACKUP important files.
