@Caledon Ken,
Ok, followed the steps in the directions you linked but I couldn't see how step 4 in red was done even after I maximized my screen to try to read the screen shot in red for step 4. It just isn't easy to read to see what is being done.
the Disk List screen shot

Once you have screen shot you should just be able to locate cursor in posting and CRTL-V (paste).
Okay, you don't have multi boot system. Of interest you do have, I think, three recovery partitions and some unallocated space at the end of C:
Have you run the repair install?
@Caledon Ken
I meant the screen shot in those directions labled (4) circled in red are practically unreadable. I didn't mean step 4.
Three recovery partitions - (OEM) , (MSR) , (Windows Recovery Environment)
No. I haven't run the in-place upgrade yet. I just returned from an appointment that I had. I'm Just beginning to start it right now.
Not MSR. It is hidden and tiny. Yours look like all listed as GB's.
Only recovery is in use as far as I know.
@Jaguwaar20,
Also of interest is that you can get rid of the old Recovery Partitions. You can keep only the most recent one. Below are two interesting articles to do just that and it would be advised to read them in the order that they are submitted. It is not for the faint of heart because any wrong maneuver, especially in the Diskpart section, can render your system unbootable. As always, after reading them and even before starting, a System Image backup is in order.
I had three of them last year (2020) and kept only the most recent one. I didn't incur any issue. On another note, you are not obliged to do it at all; it is just a suggestion if you want to save some storage space on your hard disk. Also, only after your repair install has done its magic, i.e., your system is back to running normally.

@IronZorg89,
Thank you for this information. The partitions have been a concern. I'll certainly be studying this closely.
It appears that the in place upgrade is working on the updates at this moment, which I'm hoping the repair install corrects. Thank you.
The Windows system was corrupted and has now been fixed !
I want to thank everyone for their guidance and suggestions and for being patient with me while I had used so much digital ink to get this issue resolved.
A shout out to all - a big thanks !
