Try creating installation media using the Media Creation Tool provided by Microsoft and see if you can install Windows.
Below are instructions for creating installation media on a USB flash drive using the Media Creation Tool.
(You will need to create the installation media on a working Windows computer.)
- Download the tool from the link below;
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2156295
- Double-click on the downloaded file to run the tool;
- If prompted by UAC (User Account Control), click on "Yes";
- Read the terms and click "Accept" if you agree;
- Leave the "Use the recommended options for this PC" box checked and click "Next."
- Select "USB flash drive" and click "Next".
- Connect the USB flash drive you want to use, click the "Refresh drive list" link, select the USB flash drive, and click "Next";
(Note that the files on the USB flash drive will be deleted. Make a backup of the files if necessary.)
- Wait for the procedure to finish and click "Finish" when the USB flash drive is ready.
Let me know the result.
Feel free to ask back any questions.
