    I bought an SSD western digital 500GB something. I instaled it in my m2 slot then removed the old HDD put on the WIN 10 instalation flash drive, and now iam in infinite instalation loop.
    I put in the drive start computer do all the instalation steps, remove the flash drive before reboot as adviced here, and after reboot i get message that says that no bootable device is present when i try not to remove te flash drive, it starts the instalation over. no clue what to do.

    If the SSD is NVMe, are you sure your computer can boot from an NVMe drive?

    Solved, bios was somewhat stuck and saw drives that wasnt there, and didnt see drive that was there. Updating bios with new version helped.

    Thanks for explaining this problem as i thought some of the files to download Windows were corrupted.

    Because when my hard drive broke down, i used a 2.0 usb, so i thought 3.0, had something to do this aswell as using ethernet.

    Now i did what you said, and now it works perfectly fine.
    Thank you so much, i actually thought my new usb that i ordered was broken.

    When I install it it never prompts me for a product key.

    Your computer has a product key stored in BIOS.

    OK but that still doesn't explain why the installation is starting over and over and over. I always choose "new installtion" because I am trying to hose the whole thing down and wipe it clean.

    Likely because your BIOS is set to boot from the USB flash drive as the first device, which is exactly what it is doing. When the computer reboots for the first time during setup, pull out the USB flash drive.
