I've got a problem with my Pc. I tried to make a new partition with the disk management tool and the disk was converted to dynamic. I made a backup and after I erase everything (with diskpart clean all). then I tried to install different OSs and all get stuck at some point. For example win 10 get stuck at the windows logo after booting for install; windows 7 install(ultimate, pro, enterprise x64) get stuck after first reboot at the windows logo or "setup the registry" and now kali linux get stuck after installation when I try to boot into it.
I checked the disk with chkdsk and seems ok, 0 bad sectors and no clicking sound. Idk what is the issue. I also removed and reseat the RAM.

No way those are valid Windows versions if he is able to install all those versions with one license. That is the longtime pirated unlimited Ultimate Windows 7 package and while there are some of those floating around that are free of infections and do work, it is both against our rules about helping with pirated software AND there are plenty of those versions that are rife with infections and malware.

Not to detract from your advice, which is likely accurate.

@darkbreeze.
I am a student so I have access to licensed window versions. I tried all licensed windows but doesnt work. What about kali linux? You dont need a license for it. Its clearly that is smth wrong with my pc. I wrote this post for some advices not to be judged that Im using pirated software. How can I wipeout the MBR?

Trying one of the Linux distros is a good idea.

I have never seen any student licensing program that allowed for Ultimate or Enterprise versions of Windows, no matter what Windows family it was. We weren't born yesterday. We've seen this exact situation with the Windows 7 ultimate torrented release for years. I can just about guarantee that there has never been any educational institution that lent access to Windows 7 ultimate, or at least, very few, and those were long ago. You will not find any Microsoft educational programs still offering Windows 7 versions to anybody. At all.

In my earlier poor student and non-student days, I had a collection of a few OEM licenses along with a few copies of Windows ranging from Windows 3.1 - WFW 3.11 - Windows XP. I mention this because I know how easy it is to collect OEM licenses and Windows DVDs in the hopes of being able to somehow juse them -- however, all of that have joined the scrap-heap of history.
What I have now: each of my three computers have a Microsoft TrueBlue 32-64 bit package license (average cost $190+-) assigned to it; each one has Windows 7 Professional 64-bit instsalled. I mention this item because I know that installation of one license/one computer stuff has a lot less problems.
