Hi Keona,
I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.
Do the any options appear if you press F8?
You will need a recovery drive unfortunately. The worst case will be you will need to format the laptop but you will be able to save the files.
If you get a screen that says you need to use Recovery tools, you need another computer to create a recovery/installation media. You may also need to use Installation media if the Windows Recovery environment says your password is incorrect.

Boot from the USB Flash drive: Make sure you have disabled Secure boot/Fast boot in BIOS Settings and change the boot order if required.
When you have successfully booted from the Installation media, click Repair your computer at the first screen after choosing the keyboard layout.
- Use Startup repair: The first option you can try is to use Startup repair, which automatically detects problems and fixes them. Depending on the severity of the problem, it may or may not be successful.
- Uninstall Updates
The second step you can try is to uninstall the latest updates if Windows fails to start after installing updates.
Choose Uninstall Updates.
Uninstall the update based on what was installed – a feature or quality update. Usually, the former is responsible.
- CHKDSK:
If uninstalling did not help and is unrelated, the next step is to try using a Disk Check.
Choose Command Prompt in the list of troubleshooting.
Get the Current Windows Installation drive letter, which is either C, D, or E, Type BCDEDIT, and Press Enter. Note the letter.
Enter the command given below:
chkdsk X: /f /r (Replace X with the Current Windows Install Letter)
You would see the output and restart the PC to check when done.
4.Another try you can give to fix is SFC SCANNOW through Offboot switch. For this follow the steps below:
First, find the Windows Install drive letter using BCDEDIT command.
Then, try entering the following command:
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows
After the scan completes you would see the results.
You can also try using DISM: dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
- Reset this PC or clean install.
The last Step is a Reset. The catch with Reset is, all applications would be removed and files would be kept(you would be presented with the option to erase everything). Also, for this step, A healthy Reset Image is required, which maybe would be affected by corruption. To conclude, If you are using Installation media, you can do a clean install after rescuing your files.
