Win 10 Crashed am now back on Win8.1 Need to get back to Win 10.

Why not just wipe the SSD and do a clean install of Windows 10 to it?

Forgot to attach pictures. Also need to clarify that SSD shows in the boot menu but if selected will show error as before.

That was my plan but I need files off that drive before I wipe it and I cannot get access. Thanks

Maybe try this? Or take it to a data recovery professional.....
MiniTool data recovery software – Power Data Recovery and Mac Data Recovery.

I found a partial solution and was able to recover my data from the Win10 SSD (last known as G). I rolled back my C drive from win 10 to win 8.1. Immediately I had access to my G drive again. So it appears that if you try to have two disks on Win 10 windows will not allow the second to appear on any menu. I then opted to save the data from my drive and wipe the SSD. I have now installed Win10 on the SSD and plan to use it as my primary drive. I can fire up the Win 8.1 or Win 10 from the boot menu. Thank you all for your support. I learned a lot from your suggestions. Don't know how to mark this thread as solved.
