Here is a thread with a repair option
Scroll down to the response from DaveM121
If that does not work you can make a Windows 10 install media so you can use the repaid functions on the install media
If you need the install media for Windows 10, you can make it from this Microsoft download
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
With a working PC, scroll down to the "Using the tool to create installation media"
and then follow the directions. You can make either the DVD or USB. Use this new media to install or repair Windows 10.
Or you can follow the advise from the same poster in that thread where he gives similar directions as mine.
If you do not have Windows 10 Installation Media Click HERE to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 4GB) using that tool or create the ISO file which you can later burn to DVD
Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS)
When you boot from the Installation Media - do not install Windows, instead click 'Repair My PC'
This should bring you to the Advanced Recovery Options, from there to should be able to access Command Prompt and run these commands:
bootrec /FixMbr
bootrec /FixBoot
bootrec /ScanOs
bootrec /rebuildbcd
After running these commands, reboot your PC and hopefully you will be back up and running . . .
