Noticed the time was wrong, have corrected it but still the same

Bring it into a store, not much we can do from here, is the windows hard drive connected and functional?
Does it recognize when you bring up the boot order?

 

[Tess47]

think so, sorry not very computer literate

Okay that's fine.
In the BIOS, you should be able to use the arrow keys and enter to navigate.
Usually, either all the way to the right of the large tabs at the top, or under miscellaneous settings, there'll be something that says 'drive boot order' or something along those lines.
Does the hard drive's name show up there, aka is it recognizing?

I ran a SeaTools for DOS scan (found through google) and it didn't detect a hard drive

Most likely just a dead drive then, go into a local PC store, ask them to test it on their system to see if it's recognizing.
If it's dead, you'll need to buy a new hard drive.
I recommend a Seagate Barracuda 2TB.
