Well if you were familiar with Windows 7 you made a system image before you upgraded. So restore your computer system image back to Windows 7. After you have done that.

Pay attention to what version of Windows 7 that you're using example either home or professional.

Now take another drive and save your favorites and your pictures your music etc onto that drive.

Now take the USB installer that you have made.

Boot to it that's f12 if you're on a Dell and f9 if you're on a Hewlett Packard

Now delete all of the partitions that you see when you run the installer and click the button that says new.

Install a brand new version of Windows 10.

After it is installed and everything is updated which usually takes about an hour and a half. You can take your USB drive that you have your favorites and your pictures and your music and put them all back into your main folder.

When you replaced your operating system, you uninstalled the old one. It contained your browser and its cookies--the little snippets of code that includes information for automatic sign in, like your user name and password for each site. Any other data you had stored, like a credit card number or a mailing address, may also be lost, although a lot of retail websites save that for their customers. The installation of the new OS involved updating or upgrading any browsers you had installed, like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, etc. But the cookies were gone.

I'm astonished that someone with a programming degree doesn't know this.

This is why the user needs to maintain a list of user names and passwords, ideally not on the computer they're using, since it can suffer a fatal crash or be compromised by malware. It would be safe to keep such a list in the cloud, or on a piece of paper you keep handy.

Many browsers seem eager to store passwords for you. You can allow that, but don't depend on them alone.

I recommend you try a password manager program. LastPass.com is supposed to be good.

Meanwhile, though, you need to start the process of contacting each website when you've lost your automatic log-in to recover your user account name and reset the passwords--which you write down.
