gordoncanada I guess you didn't upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 and instead install it on different partition.
You may boot into Windows 10 and browse into your Windows 7 folder and copy everything into Windows 10 or boot into Windows 7 and backup your data.

Just make sure backup everything before formatting.
