My solution was trying a smaller second partition size. Disk Utility said the space was free but I guess it really isn't.

Your best option is to use any recovery tools possible to mount the Volumes and get the files off the disk. If macOS Recovery can access it, then go to Disk Utility and simply make a disk image or something so that you have all your files. Then, remove the APFS Container Disk, and erase Apple SSD AP0512J... making sure that there is nothing left. Then, ...

If you installed the Windows Support Software, then Windows should be able to recognize Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatted volumes. AFAIK, Windows can not recognize APFS volumes without third party software. If an external HDD contains a ExFAT formatted partition, then any version of Windows running on a Mac can access the volume. Although, older versions ...

The First Aid does not succeed since the drive is not mounted. Encrypted drives must be mounted first.
So mount the drive, type in your password, then the First Aid should successfully run.

Which drive are you using for the Windows boot disk? It sounds like you are using an external USB drive. I'm not so sure that's supported all that well. I mean Windows 10 is built to boot from USB drives but there's a lot of care that has to be taken to make that work. You did mention it worked before, and I don't doubt you, but I have to wonder if there'...

You can try to copy the EFI partition. The EFI partition is required for macOS and Windows to start. That would be rdisk0s1 to rdisk2s1 in your case. You can mount both partition and copy boot files over.
For example:
diskutil mount disk0s1
diskutil mount disk2s1
cp -a /volumes/EFI/EFI/Microsoft /volumes/EFI\ 1/EFI/
Or:
dd if=/dev/rdisk0s1 of=/dev/rdisk2s1

Apple documentation states you should be able to replicate a bootable APFS container to a new drive. Unfortunately, the GUI based software from Apple is wrought with bugs. Below are the steps I preformed to successfully clone Catalina macOS 10.15.5 to a new USB drive. To be honest, I admit this was tested using a VirtualBox virtual machine.
Boot to macOS ...

You can't really copy a partition, you just copy everthing thats in one partition to another partition of appropriate size. You should make a 320 GB partition on your new drive. Since you are only using 100 GB on the 465 GB partition you can copy everything in the 465 partition to the 320 partition. Just select everything and copy it using the Finder. To ...

To completely remove any previous installations of Windows, you would have to remove the EFI/Boot and EFI/Windows folders from the EFI volume. The EFI\Windows\Boot folder contains the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file. You can mount this volume by using the command given below.

You can use the Finder application to move the ...

You made partition 2 type 53746F72-6167-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC. You should have made partition 2 type 7C3457EF-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC.
The commands to change the type are given below. I assume you are entering the commands from macOS Recovery or from a installation flash drive.
gpt remove -i 2 /dev/disk0
gpt add -i 2 -b 409640 -s 781050984 -t 7C3457EF-...

Bootcamp allows you to boot into Windows on your Mac. Once installed, you will choose to boot to Windows or MacOS.
If you wish your Mac to dual boot Windows, you must use the Bootcamp installer. If you do not, you won't be able to boot into Windows or often get it installed. You can likely search google for many suggestions to install it outside of ...

If you can get access to the drive you should clear up about 20% od disk if you can. You can start by deleting Xcode since it takes up about 13 GB and keep deleting until you get at least 25 GB free. You can copy some large folders to iCloud and remove them from your disk. You can also try running Daisy Disk, OmniDiskSweeper, or GrandPerspective apps to see ...

I also suffered this problem just now, for me the solution seemed to be resetting my macs PRAM by holding command + option + p + r on startup. After doing this bootcamp booted into windows then windows said it had to do some disk repair (dont know why) but I'm grateful I managed to get it sorted without too much issue. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Download the Windows 10 ISO from this website.
Erase a 16 GB or larger flash drive. Use the Master Boot Record scheme and ExFAT format.
Copy the files from the Windows Support Software download ...

In a word, yes.
It seems to be a 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro with a core i7 Processor. That is plenty of horsepower to install Windows, assuming you have enough disk space to dedicate to Windows (I wouldn't go less than 20GB) it should work fine.
Not sure what you mean about the free version of Windows 10, though. While Microsoft did give free licenses to ...
