infinite purple screen following windows 10 upgrade?

[mantrach]

I just installed windows 10 (from 8.1) and the installation process seemed to be about done, but now it's stuck in a purple blank screen with no messages. after a while, it turned off the display (implying that I'd be able to do some kind of input?) I'm tempted to just reboot and turn off the computer but I'm worried that it'll mess up the installation. help please .-.

does screen come back on if you move mouse?

i would take risk and restart as you won't get anywhere with it as it is.

download this - windows media creation tool

What I suggest is download that tool and let it create a win 10 install DVD or USB (depends what you have) and then once its made, run the setup program on the drive you have made and it will update you to win 10

run it from within explorer but as its the installer, you could also boot from it. Its mult use so you can use it again,
