Will it not let you type "c:" to get to the c: directory?

PS, "exit" diskpart first

when typing bootrec.exe /fixboot it tellse me the volume dosent contain a recognized file system then it tells me to make sure the volume isnt corrupted

But you can navigate to c:/windows?

can you list the files/folders in that one?

 

I guess I don't have the experience with Windows 10 and boot problems to fix this.

 

If all your files are there, and you are happy and safe doing a re-install, you could try re-installing Windows 10. All your apps etc and many user settings may be lost in doing a reinstall.  If you want to keep all your files on the OS disk, do not re-format it! Backup the files first!

Yeah im just going to reinstall i dont think theres any other fix maybe taking it to a repair shop, however this PC is a gaming pc so the only things removed would be games I can install again. Any saves in those games will be in a cloud, its just going to take forever to get things back to what they were

Not necessarily. A lot of games still save locally. Most of those saves will be in C:\users\<yourname>\appdata
