You might have to bite a money bullet and purchase a trueblue MS or OEM Windows 7 or 10 install DVD -- if push comes to shove. If you find out that the hardware, i.e. the HD, is aok, then the Windows has suffered an almost impossible to fix failure. A MS or OEM install DVD will give you a fresh install, a start over from scratch install. You might be able, using another pc, to download an ISO that matches your present Windows edition and go from there.
