Total Identified Windows Installation 0

So every time automatic disk repair won't work, it says there's a problem with srttrail.txt. So I tried looking at the logs to see what the problem was and nothing stood out(not sure what to look for but nothing flashed red lights as to there being a problem)and the file doesn't exist if I try to open it so I can't delete it. Then I tried refreshing but the disk was locked. I tried to create a new partition with no success due to there not being enough space or something. Then I torrented a copy of Windows 8 to load on from a different comp, but I'm not getting the option to load it from a flash drive in troubleshooting. Not sure what other options I have, if any. I'm open to anything, even if that means losing everything on my computer, I don't care at this point. I'm on an asus x551ca if that matters

May 12, 2014  After trying to bootrec/rebuildbcd I find that there are 'Total identified Windows installations: 0' Also I will get either a Bad system config info blue screen. I really don't know what went wrong, I am just pretty upset that my tablet remains unresponsive. Feb 19, 2011  one day it just shut down and would not startup any more, it goes straight to startup repair and fails and loops this. I have fixed this issue before, with bootrec tools on the 7 CD, but this time it wont do anything, no matter what i try it tells me 'total identified windows installations: 0'. Aug 02, 2019  If you receive the “Total identified Windows installations: 0” message instead of “Total identified Windows installations: 1” message, you need to run a few more commands to fix this issue and continue to rebuild BCD. Create a Windows 10 bootable USB drive with Windows Media Creation Tool. If you have one, just ignore this step.

Running windows 10, 64 bit on a dell laptop (inspiron 14z), this was an upgrade from win8 which I did quite a while ago, I removed all traces of win8. The other day I needed to test a usb drive with the standalone windows defender app on it that I was trying to run on another machine. I went into my bios and changed the boot to legacy to get the usb to boot, after testing I switched the bios back, but my computer wouldn't boot. After trying the built in windows repair stuff and poking around online and I found lots of similar advice relative to fixing the BCD (eg, https://www.evernote.com/shard/s570/sh/1ef80c4e-9500-4f09-b7fb-7aa006b6894c/d0a58c3996b85f424c903bd6087bbada ), but none of it has helped at all.
The key problem identified seems to be the bootrec /scanos command comes back with Total identified Windows installations: 0. But the instructions listed above did not fix the problem. I've struggled to find any other advice on what else to try.
My laptop uses UEFI, drives are GPT. When I list volumes within diskpart I get volumes 0 through 6.
0 is cdrom drive
1 is OS, NTFS
2 is ESP, FAT32
3 is winretools, NTFS
4 doesn't have a label, NTFS
5 is PBR image, NTFS
6 is DIAGS, FAT32.
All are listed as healthy, volumes 2 through 6 are listed as hidden. Volume 1 has nothing listed under info (seems like it should say boot, but it's not clear if that is necessary or not).
I've tried using the bcd from my ESP partition back to c:windows as per the instructions above, it all runs with no errors, but at the end of it when I do bootrec /scanos it still says no windows installations.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Thanks
