Correct, but it does not say if it is indeed efi
It will not proceed if it is not efi
So we won't know if that is the reason it won't boot.


It searches for file bootmgfw.efi
But it does not say if it has found it.
So we won't know if it exists and the reason it won't boot.
Or it exists and still won't boot.


If windows is not efi, it won't have bootmgfw.efi but ntldr
And if it is an older windows it will have file bootmgr instead.
So if it does not find bootmgfw.efi,
you can use search to search for ntldr or bootmgr if you are not certain
