The October Revolution, so called because it was October in Russia while it was November in the western world, took political control away from the Provisional Government and put it in the hands of the Bolshevik Party. The Bolsheviks had armed force known as the Red Guard at that time, which seized key transportation, communications and military installation and so had a stranglehold on the running of the government. The Bolsheviks had also converted many of the soldiers in Petrograd to their cause so not only were these soldiers unavailable to defend the Provisional Government, but they actually added their force to the takeover of the government.
Once the Bolsheviks were in control, they refused to share political power with any of the other socialist revolutionary parties as had been expected. The Bolsheviks' military capability allowed them to hold onto their power to the exclusion of all other political parties.
The November Revolution did not secure their power. It put them into power.
The Revolution Of 1917 overthrew the regime of the Russian monarchy. The power vacuum allowed for the Bolsheviks to take power.
