Will the system repair wipe out any documents I've created recently?
No , system repair will repair your system files actually.

New information... I pulled out a USB plugin for a wireless keyboard. Now, when I reboot it makes it to Windows wlcome screen. I can get into Safe Mode now, but when I do, it starts scrolling through the system files but then stops scrolling w all the files listed on the screen.
Is the system repair still the appropriate path forward?

in safe mode, do system restore
If you are getting to the stage the system will boot sort of!
Then a repair install would be a good course of action.

The first time I pressed this button it took me to a screen with some different options I could pick w the F buttons. None of them worked though (ie. Nothing happened when I pressed them). Now, when I press this button, the statement goes away but nothing elsw happens.
