Laptop All data from the C folder has been moved to the D folder so it doesn't work?

So I just restarted my laptop and suddenly a blue screen came up where I could choose between "Use a device", "Troubleshoot" and "Turn off my PC".

Then I tried everything to troubleshoot it, but it did not work except for input help, so I entered notepad to see if I had everything and then went to c: and checked that everything was there anyway, but I saw that all the data from d: folder on it. When I looked at the d: folder, all the data from the c: folder was on it.
That's why the laptop most likely won't boot up.

I have attached a few pictures as proof.

Please quick help!

Hard drive out and copy back to C.

Si

To me it looks like there was an update to Windows 10
that is incomplete.

If you can undo that, I would try.

For example, if you can start and work in Safe Mode,
Can you assign the drives differently in the computer management.
Change C to E since I reserve D for DVD and after restart,

Change D to C. This can't be done in one step.

If despite correct C and E LWe the booting does not work,
Then see if there are any other repair suggestions.

Which version of Windows?

Br

Do you even know what you're talking about?

Before you answer stupidly I would inform myself and not slouch

apparently you didn't even read the question

Br

Windows 10. Unfortunately I can't start Safe Mode on my laptop. Would there be another solution?

Gu

I'm sorry

If you do this on another PC, it will never make C: out of it

Br

Yes, but C became D

so it will certainly work the other way around

Gu

Try using the Microsoft Windows Media creation Tool to make a bootable USB stick and then select it in the Boot Manager and reinstall Windows on the empty partition

Sch *** is that Windows does not start because you would have to format and create hard disks

Gu

Tip: new partition so you can keep the data

Br

I put the media creation tool on a completely empty usb stick, only i don't know if the usb stick is boot bar

Gu

Start the PC Press the key combination to start the Boot Manager then select the stick

ex

You can only start Safe Mode from an Install Stick or DVD.
Use Windows 10 own repair function.
Switch on the laptop and every time he wants to boot… Simply switch off at the push of a button. Repeat this until the self-repair begins.
Windows 10 installed itself in the wrong folder.
On C: the old remaining dates will still be…

Br

Do you happen to know how to boot on a Dell G5 laptop?

Br

I can't start Safe Mode

Windows 10 self repair says it finds something but it doesn't show an error code

So in and of itself nothing has been lost except that the content that should be in C: is in D: and vice versa

Gu

Maybe look in the BIOS

Si

Then you can change the assignment as described above

Gu

I repeat I accept no liability and all data can be lost in the event of errors

Br

Yes and you know how if so then please tell me

Br

The main thing is that it works

Gu

Fine?

Si

You can assign the drives differently in the computer management.

Change C to E since I reserve D for DVD and after restart,

Change D to C. This can't be done in one step.

If despite correct C and E LWe the booting does not work,

Then see if there are any other repair suggestions.

Br

Takes a bit

Gu

OK

When it starts up, Windows is displayed twice, which is the new one

Br

No it did not recognize the USB stick

Gu

The boot manager was opened right?

Gu

The media creation tool was able to create the USB stick

Br

Yes

Br

Also yes

Gu

Then USB boot is probably deactivated in the BIOS

Br

Yes it can be but when I try to restore the system it says "restart the computer, select an operating system and then click on" system recovery "

Gu

Try it

Br

I'll try that with the bios

Gu

The system recovery does not go because it would be easier if a backup is available

Gu

When reinstalling you need the product key

Br

Do I have

Gu

Well not that you ask yourself oh not have the key because you only have it with a working Windows installation

Br

Yes the usb stick is not recognized although the connections are in perfect shape

have completely given up hope

ex

In your case, I would reinstall Windows.
Save all data beforehand and delete all partitions when installing.
