Second Option:

 

Create recovery media for your computer

 

• To create recovery media, follow these steps:
• On any computer running the same Operating System, Click Start , then type "create recovery drive." Windows will provide relevant results as you type.
• Select Create a recovery drive.
• At the "User Access Control" prompt, Select Yes to open the Recovery Drive wizard. Keep the check box next to Back up system files to the recovery drive checked, click Next.
• Connect the USB flash drive to an available USB port, ensure that the drive selected is correct, then click Next.

 

Once the Recovery Media is created, boot the problem computer with the USB drive created. Press F12 for the Startup Menu. Select the USB drive created, then follow the instructions above to reach Safe Mode with Networking.

 

 

Seems the Operating System is corrupted. You must create a bootable USB drive as mentioned above. This time try to get to the Command Prompt and run Diskpart . Upload a photograph of the window.
