It's funny, you're the second person I've heard who has said a Windows 10 upgrade has borked their partition. I wonder if that's by some poor design on Microsoft's part.

Have you tried Elementary OS at all? I don't know if it had all of the features Apple OS, but at the very least it clones the GUI.

I have no idea what Windows did or how to fix it but I'll keep that OS in mind when I try to fix this shit storm. But I lost important files so recovery is the main concern

I just swapped ubuntu for fedora on my macbook air and the setup for that was super, super easy. With ubuntu I needed refind, but fedora shows up right in the OSX bootloader. On my desktop I use separate drives so I don't know how fedora plays with Win 10, but I think it is also pretty easy.

If you want easy install the big distros are probably your best bet. A live usb might help you with fix/recovery as well, including looking at the partitions and seeing what's going on (fedora's install has pretty straightforward tools for this.)
