Windows 10: ASUS Zenbook UX303L - Unable to install Windows 10 Pro

Ladies and Gentlemen,

After 16 h attempting to install a Windows 10 Pro version on an ASUS Zenbook UX303L, I do have to capitulate...
I have never had, heard or seen such unbelievable difficulties/troubles on a Windows 10 installation.

Brief introduction:

A friend of mine asked me if I could take a look at her laptop after a Windows 10 update.
PC kept on rebooting from a BSoD loop and every day it took her 20-30 minutes trying to boot successfully.
With a lot of attempts and constantly hitting the ESC key, she was every day again able to boot to normal Desktop after numerous attempts.

Well, she already said there is a lot of crap and programs on the PC and thus, asked if I could re-install it completely from scratch for her.


First attempts to re-install Windows 10 Pro from USB always failed on the same: BSoD when booting from USB.

Easy one I thought.
Created USB Live bootable media with a "Kali" Linux installed on it, booted into Linux and formatted SSD (Sandisk) completely from within the Linux disk utility.
Thus, naked SSD in PC without any partition and all free non-allocated space.

Same time (Since I was already in LInux), I did a health check onto the SSD. (S.M.A.R.T. - Details)
Performed several short as well as long test runs and all succeeded with same result: Perfect SSD health state...

I can definitely exclude any issue from hardware..I am pretty much sure to at least 99,99 %


Nevertheless, after several hours of trying to install Windows 10 I am still unable...booting from USB in UEFI mode does not work at all (PC keeps on restarting in a loop without even entering any Windows setup) Regardless if "Secure Boot" is ON or OFF.

Secure Boot off with CSM enabled - at least the Windows Logo appears with a BSoD shortly after.

So I am stuck.

At this point there is not even a log file, right? (Since it is trying to boot Windows installer from USB?)

PC does not have a CD/DVD drive - so that is not possible either.

Attached, I am adding some information.
2 Pictures and a video showing what happens during windows boot.
1 Picture shows device type and serial no.
1 Picture shows what error message I got trying to boot from USB with a Windows-To-Go

PLEASE HELP - I am lost :-(

Many thanks from Austria,

Activating windows 10 on Asus Zenbook Pro: No sticker

So I have a Asus Zenbook Pro laptop which came with a pre-activated Windows 10. I ruined my OS and am now trying to reinstall. But I can't find any sticker for the MS Windows product key. The system also didn't come with any recovery media.

What is the work-around?
