hi

try the tests for check
If the hard drive is ok, you have different functions compared to the original windows version, and the one that was in place
if you have installed windows 10 for example, but you do not have the media recovery, try with the microsoft media directly

You risk losing all your data

it can be a material problem!
You can try several things in order to try to recover your data, I give some explanations here, but in French!

You can try a bootable cd / dvd type live cd (linux)

you can try removing the hard drive, in order to connect it to another computer internally, or with a usb adapter!

If your disk is not completely out of order, this gives you a small chance
