Repairing Disk Errors Endlessly

So, I have a Lenovo laptop that runs Windows 10 and it is very much on its last legs but I need to get it working again. 

I was using my laptop as I normally would when it completely froze. Now, as I said, it's an old laptop and it's often quite slow but this time it full on froze everything. After waiting a good 20 minutes, I decided to do a hard shut down by holding the power button. When I turned it on again it began diagnosing and started fixing (C:) so I thought I'd let it do its thing if it needed to repair the disk. 

I left it to go through the stages for 2 and a half days. Then when it finished fixing (C:), it went to "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." so I left it again for 2 more days with seemingly nothing happening.

I tried to look up some solutions and the most common was to create a Windows Media Tool. So I did that and put it onto a USB and booted into F12 and used the USB. Went to" Repair my computer" and "Troubleshoot", but there's no "Automatic Repair" option which every answer I've seen points to. 

I tried "Set up Repair", but that just throws me back to "Repairing disk errors...". I tried going to a restore point, but that told me there were disk errors to repair and it had to do that first but the progress bar began, then didn't move after a few hours. 

What other solutions should I try? 

Thanks for your time.

    These are the options I'm presented with after choosing "Troubleshoot".
