SQl server managment studio stopped working on Windows 10

I stupidly installed Windows 10 this morning on a laptop which has been running 8.1 for ages. I have been using Sql server management studio 2014 and visual studio 10 for some time on this laptop with no issues.
After installing windows 10 (stupid me!) I got a "missing msvcr100.dll" error running either application. I downloaded and copied the file into SysWow64, got a 2nd missing dll error and copied that in as well.
After that I just get "the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close.
So now nothing works, SQL repair facility doesn't work either. Is there a work around or shall I just re-install everything?

Or go back to Windows 8.1!

Thanks!

Living dangerously installing Windows 10 so soon before testing any of your production apps...

Recommend going back to 8.1, or giving this person a new box and using the one you have to build an image for Windows 10, and eventually deploy.

I didn't check closely enough. Found the backed-up old windows folder and copied from that into the new SysWOW64 folder. The upgrade didn't even copy over the right files! Fixed and I am panicking less. That will teach me to be keen - at least it was not a vital PC!
