From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is the windows partition is still there? You may be able to use one of the repair options from the install media to re-add windows to EFI instead of a full reinstall.
Yes the partition was still there, and I tried all the different repair options just now, but they all refused unfortunately.
I'm mentally prepared for a full wipe, even assuming my macrium reflect backup didn't work. Most of my important stuff is saved to google drive, and I can reinstall my games and download my movies / tv again.
Anything else probably wasn't important enough :(
