Hi, writing this from a phone excuse probable misspellings. Specs don't really apply for this, purely about a win10 home install. Everything spec related worked fine on secondary drive which is of the same make.

 

Today I used mbr2gpt to convert my boot drive to gpt for no dataloss transfer so I could partition my drive. Everything seemed fine untill I went into a boot into bsod loop, I tried troubleshooting the internet for possible reasons and they all came down to EFI/msr/ or old mbr recovery partition being broken. I used woshub's guide on how to create new EFI and msr partitions and removed the mbr recovery partition as my drive is already gpt anyways. But I still boot into a loop of bsods. No windows tool works including bootrec and using bcd. I have found that all my files on my disk are perfectly fine. However it would save me literal weeks if I could recover the windows installation somehow. If anyone could help me that'd be great. It's currently 2:35am my time and I'm actually pulling my hair out and about to fall asleep. If I don't respond swiftly I will have fallen asleep and I'll respond as soon as I'm awake.

Been there done that.. I surely am not qualified to answer this and for some it may be a quick command fix but man ive been where you are and i wasted hours trying every method i found on every guide out there with no success..
I suggest getting a second drive to install windows and migrate slowly there.

"Literal weeks" i suppose you have a bunch of software installed and you dont want to loose your settings and whatnot. In that case you can probably run some of them straight from the installation folder and copy everything from the appdata folder over to the new one. I have done that in the past and got away with it.

As the old drive remains intact you can keep trying to restore it when you have time or get it to someone that knows his stuff.
