I am not sure. The computer came with these partitions set up. I have the old disk that I cloned. Could I find something out from that?

This is what the old (original clone) disk has:
C - 500mb OEM Partition
D - 905 GB Primary partition
F - 1000MB Recovery partition
no letter - 260MB EFI system partition
G - 24GB Recovery partition
I have read that the device boots to the EFI system partition.

Do you have access to another pc?
You might be able to fix boot problems with a WinPE (Windows Pre Environment)

Not sure how to do this. If I create rescue media on another pc, won't it contain drivers for the other pc and not the one I am trying to fix?

Only if you choose to take the drivers too, I believe you can choose if you want to have them too, I can when I create a WinPE

I ran the Macrium Reflect to fix boot problems. It ran and repaired the BCD (the 3 other repair options weren't available). After running I rebooted and I get through the Windows sign-in page but then it sits on the welcome page for a couple minutes and displays a message that windows ran into a problem and has to restart. After restarting, it repeats the same process in a loop.

No error code or anything. Only to close any open programs and it would restart in one minute. It keeps looping and now I notice it isn't giving any message before restarting.
