Windows 10 chkdsk

I have a PC with Windows 10 home edition that won't boot and other recovery options aren't working.  I have slaved the disk with home version to another PC with Windows 10 Pro and can see all my files and folders.  If I run chkdsk /f against the home version's disk using my Windows 10 Pro will it corrupt file system since the OS's are different versions?

No, it's the bosses home computer and it was doing windows updates then went to restarting and said it was stuck there trying to restart so he powered it off and then when it tried to boot it said no OS found.  I don't no how long he waited for restarting but hosed it.

He tried recovery media and every option he said wouldn't work.  I'm making a backup of it now but he's got 500GB of stuff.  After that I can try recovery tools and if that fails reload the OS.

Thanks
You can try the BOOTREC command to repair the MBR or GPT.
