boot - After installing Ubuntu, Windows became unbootable but files are still there

I was trying for hours to get Ubuntu to install as a dual boot alongside Windows 10, but kept running into this problem or this problem. I finally tried this solution, not knowing it would destroy my windows partitions. I can't boot to Windows now, but I can still access all of my Windows files through Ubuntu.




I don't have anything on Windows of importance except that it is a valid Windows install, which I'd rather not lose.



Several pictures that can provide some more information can be found here.



I was directed to try this solution, but none of the new boot options worked for me. Here are the logs from the boot-repair operation. One thing that I noticed is that some of the boot options will say:



error: no such device: 7A32-E897.
error: disk `hd1,gpt1' not found.



That device is the hard drive with the Windows files that I can access through Ubuntu's file explorer and disk manager.



If there is any way to make the Windows partition bootable again, how so? Thank you!
