Is the hdd light on case still showing activity? How big is the ssd? How full was it?

If it had over a few TB of data on it then it might still be working. This seems unlikely though on an ssd. If its still going after 24 hours I would have to think its frozen.

Resets aren't the best way to start again. Just a less painful one. Fresh installing win 10 normally works out faster

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

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...

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 on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here).
