I would suspect something went wrong with the re-installation. Can you boot in Safe Mode?  Tap F8 while re-booting.
Windows 8 and Windows 10 dual boot with two SSD's

    less im misunderstanding. all you did is reformat using software, reinstall software, and reboot


     'delete' key these days at startup right?   and you cant get in there?    nothing but pitchblack screen?  This is after on, before "boot" where you can verify drives, boot order, etc.   'cant get in here?"
