Hi,
My pc running windows 10 had the boot/startup error occur earlier today and it isn't the first time. Previously, I used a usb stick to use the recovery tools and it worked although this time it did not.
I decided to try to run some other commands in the command prompt that recreated a bunch of boot files and my bios now shows me 5 booting options; 3 named windows boot manager (previously there was 1 which I would boot from normally) 1 that was just named after my SSD, and the usb plugged in. I tried a few other options but I kept running into errors such as this one and inaccessible boot device. Is there any other method? Am i able to just reinstall windows without losing anything?
Thanks!

I imagined that it would give an error because it does not have boot partitions, but if it tries to create a GPT scheme, it will work for our purpose and take a screenshot of the result.
mbr2gpt.exe /convert /disk:0 /allowFullOS

This is correct, but I want to see if MBR2GPT can make the conversion scheme less risky compared to gdisk.
