Welcome to TenForums.


You appear to be booting from a Windows install USB to get to a command prompt. When you boot like this different drive letters may be used, the Windows partition may well not be the C: drive. You can use Diskpart to see what letter it is using. At the command prompt use the following commands:

DISKPART
LIST VOL
EXIT


Here you can see my Windows system appears as the D: drive when booted from the install media.
