So, I recently tried a clean boot and ended up with windows not being bootable. I figured I'd use an install USB to boot up the Recovery Environment, go to the Command prompt, and run msconfig to undo whatever I had done. However, when I searched for c:\Windows directory it was not present (also check d: directory with the same result). While there were some Windows programs in X:\sources I still could not locate the Windows directory. I ended up restoring Windows with a clean install and File History, I'm still curious if this is normal and I was misinformed, or I did something wrong.
