Windows 10: Can’t do a clean install

So I realize there are a lot of things I could have done better, but I’m hoping to salvage this situation.

I recently upgraded my boot drive to an nvme ssd, but I was having issues with it not being detected when I’d put my PC into sleep mode. I wasn’t able to find a solution, so I decided to do a clean install of windows on the new ssd, since I had just cloned it from my old boot drive before. I wiped the ssd, and I turned on my PC (with the usb that has the installation media plugged in), but now I’m stuck in an automatic repair loop. It won’t let me do a clean install, reset my pc, and some of the other options I believe to be because I just wiped the ssd.

What can I do?

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
