Yes, you can find free software on the internet that will allow you to tweak your computer's looks and feels to make it seem more like Windows 8, and plus you can also change the Start button, all you need to do is search Google for 'make windows 7 look like windows 8' and download the programs/tweaks from there, I also suggest you look up a YouTube tutorial before you do it, as these can sometimes corrupt your system if not done correctly.

Reboot into safe mode (By pressing the F8 key when you start your computer) and see if you get the windows screen. If it is black in safe mode then means your windows is corrupted. If you can see the screen that means windows is ok. Run msconfig under safe mode then reboot and see if everything works.
