There is some information that may help here
You're going to need to boot the system from a Windows 10 installer flash drive to attempt repair (and since it may in fact be impossible to repair the system, a reinstallation may well be required - which in turn will require the install media).
If you don't have that, you can prepare a set:
The problem is that the UEFI boot loader needs to be rebuilt, either manually (see the first link I posted) or by reloading Windows (the second link).
Until that's rebuilt, the system won't find a bootable drive.
To boot from the flash drive, press F12 at powerup a couple of times, and select it from the boot menu that appears (if you do not see it as a bootable option, it was not made properly).

Look under Main. Is the drive physically installed?
What model system?
If you have not run the Dell diagnostics (F12 at powerup), it's time to do that.
You may also use the "Get Help Now" option at the bottom right to chat with a Dell technician right away.
