Already tried resetting the pc and removed everything. In the end it indicates that resetting is not successful. Blue screen also keeps popping up.

on another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

If factory reset refuses to work, I would suggest a fresh install
change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer

when you reach the screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next...
