Windows 10 stuck on blue screen

Hi all, it's my first post here so apologies if I've done something wrong.

I have an old Dell Inspiron 580, that originally shipped with Windows 7. I upgraded it to Windows 10 many years ago.

Two days ago, I had an issue with my PC, and now it won't boot up. When I try to turn it on normally, the windows logo comes up with the white loading circle, after which the windows logo will disappear and only the white loading circle remains. This will happen for a very long time and then eventually it just goes to a black screen with a cursor.

I now am trying to install a fresh windows 10 on the PC by using the bootable image I created using Windows recovery tool on another laptop on a USB.

When I press F12 and boot via the USB, the windows logo and white loading circle comes, after which it just loads a blue screen and a cursor.

I've read a few articles, but I'm not sure what to do next. Any help would be appreciated!

Is the drive the original HDD?

On another computer, create a USB Win 10 installation drive using the All Media Creation tool attached.
Boot from the Win 10 installation drive created and launch a cmd window (Shift+F10) and type:
Diskpart
list volume (take note of the Windows volume letter. It may not be C:)
exit
chkdsk x: /f (replace x with the drive letter found with list disk
Pay attention on the results, specially bad blocks, bad clusters, bad sectors etc
