If your Windows won't boot, it's straightforward to resolve. There are many tutorials available on fixing the boot partition. You can also try various approaches such as reinstalling the system without losing files, using an installer to restart, setting up the system on a different drive and copying the old main partition onto it, or cloning the current partition onto a new one.

Suggest using a different PC with an adapter or internal connection and make sure to back up the data beforehand, as making a mistake might cause the information to be lost. You could also try dual booting for the same result.

You can try running the built-in tools to repair system files. Use "sfc /scannow" in the Command Prompt and ensure it starts with the drive letter where corruption occurred. For more advanced recovery, open DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and follow its prompts. These commands help restore Windows partitions after file damage.

I wouldn't assume anything unless your Windows runs on a VHS tape. Data loss is actually very uncommon. In most cases, your photos, music, movies, etc., stay intact from time to time. The filesystem has several safeguards to prevent incorrect saving, so even on a poor flash drive you can store your information accurately. This issue only arises if the drive is nearly dead or memory fails. Of course, you can run those commands to scan your system, but first look for an example online that shows how it helps someone. No, the best approach is to restart the boot and attempt to start your system again.
