"Windows resource protection could not start the repair service" if I use SFC with offwindir and offbootdir
I cannot do the in place upgrade because it says that I am not allowed to if I used the Media Creation Tool
It seems that you are unaware that I cannot even get into Windows. Those tutorials assume you can get into windows
The exact error that I get is: the upgrade option isn't available if you start your computer using the Windows installation media
I am not receiving any of those error message. Please refer to the error message that I am receiving in post number 3
That link is irrelevant
Also nowhere does it ask what I want to keep. That link says it will. It dives right into installation and tells me that I will lose everything

I guess nobody has any clue at this point?

How can you call this a "help forums" if you guys just stop helping people right in the middle of a problem
It would help us if you posted details of your problem.
If you have already done this in another thread then someone will help there. Not everyone who can help is online 24/7.
The OP possibly means this: Black Screen after "preparing automatic repair"
See the last line of the last post.
The report shows that your boot manager is missing/corrupted.
How To Fix 0xc000000f Error While Booting Your Windows PC
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...f-17f7128f9b4d
Boot Manager Status 0xc000000f, boot selection failed. Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums
You’ll need boot media- either Windows installation or a specific repair disc/USB like Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk & use this to access cmd prompt to repair the boot files, run sfc & DISM.
Another option: Windows PE Help I can’t get windows to installation screen
I opted for a Windows reinstall after backing everything in my user folder to another hard drive. The install itself seemed to go well until the laptop restart at the end of the process and when the computer boots,
However, now I am stuck at the HP logo with spinning dots "Getting ready" and it has been that way for the last hour.
What now?
Depending on the build/version of Windows 10 you were running previously it may take a while.
