Start up Repair seems the obvious one, these suggestion coming up implies that Windows 10 has already been installed on the drive so it must be the Seagate HDD.

The only other option was to turn off your PC which I`m sure you do not want to do atm.

 

Not sure that any of the options are going to go anywhere being honest, of the options left at the Advanced screen you should try the Command prompt.

 

Will be gone for about 15/20 minutes.

At the Command Prompt;

 

Type the following command and press Enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
 
Doesn`t take long as it only detects corruption.

You can sometimes get error 87 if the command has not been typed in correctly

 

At the command prompt;

 

Type the following command and then press Enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
