The Bolsheviks took power from the Russian Provisional Government in November 1917 (October according to the Russian calendar). At that time the Provisional Government had already replaced Tsar Nicholas II and by November it was headed by Alexander Kerensky.

The Bolsheviks did not seize power from Tsar Nicholas II. The Provisional Government was set up in place of the Tsar's government to maintain order and run the country until a new constitution could be written.
