What is the problem with installing Windows on a hard drive?
Hello, I have a problem with my HP laptop. Flew windows, do not ask how and why. I made a bootable win10 flash drive using the official Microsoft utility.
So what happens, when I boot the PC, I hold down F9, the boot menu pops up, I select USB Hard Drive (UEFI) - ... It loads, the HP logo appears and ... And after 20 minutes a black screen (as I understand it, it just loads the flown Windows from the hard drive). I take out the hard drive, and voila, a blue screen with the Windows installer

Make a bootable flash drive through a third party program like WinSetupFromUSB (never let me down). If through F9 the result remains the same, then set the priority of the flash drive in bios / uefi
If this does not help, check the hard drive for serviceability
If you can get the hard drive out, clean it up by removing partitions, then the UEFI BIOS bootloader won't try to boot from it.
ps do you have a legacy boot in your bios? the ability to boot from an external device that does not have an efi partition in the old fashioned way via mbr. Windows installer boot disks can do both legacy and efi. You can also make yourself a live usb ubuntu by downloading it from an off site or a torrent and running it, cleaning the disk directly in the laptop, checking it for errors, and so on.
Is Secure Boot not enabled by any chance? If yes, then it should be disabled.
