This is Windows 7 we're talking about, you're going to have to reinstall the OS while the existing OS is present so you will end up with an .old folder in which all your current documents and files will reside, if you're concerned about retrieving important files. Other than that, yeah nothing else will work so you're going to have to reinstall the OS from scratch.

The options for recovery aren't exactly perfected with Windows 10 either but people have already learned to backup their content if things went sideways.
