You might be in trouble, but it’s not necessarily a total loss.

Windows could encounter problems during startup and loading of applications. Previously, I experienced this when using a full pagefile on an HDD, but no boot on an SSD and one Windows instance failing to locate the HDD. Now I always use a smaller pagefile on the SSD. If you have a larger driver, you can move most or all of the pagefile there. Windows doesn't really matter where it is stored. Certain programs, especially Adobe products, need a sufficient pagefile size to run correctly.
