Windows 10: No boot after upgrade

A neighbor of mine has a Windows 10 machine. There was an upgrade but (and she doesn't recall or know) either it completed or she interrupted it. In any event when she turned her computer on in the morning, she got this messaage: Start PXE over IPv4. When I got to her computer I disconnected the ethernet cable and rebooted. Now I get boot errors (oddly, the screen characters are in red not white). Anyway, from the BIOS setup I can did disk check and it was OK. I cannot add a boot device (no option to do so). My guess is that during the upgrade, the C: drive was renamed to X: but at the end of the process (which may have been interrupted; don't know), X: was not renamed back to C:. Does this make sense? I'm thinking the next step is to bring a WIndows 10 ISO on a flash drive and see if I can reboot from that and then, if it is X: and C: issue, use DISKPART to rename X: back to C:. Or is it more likely something else?
