Windows 10: Installing fresh Windows 10 on a separate drive

I'll try to cut my story short.

The Acer I bought almost two years ago comes with no-brand M.2 SSD. It broke after a while so I bough Crucial MX500 2.5 SATA, that's because at that time I didn't even look inside and thought my laptop still runs on Sata. Anyway I connected it externally, somehow copied the system using WinToUSB and it still works (though I get a lot of blue screens)

Now I finally bought a proper M.2 drive to go inside the laptop.

That's when problems started. All I wanted is to install a fresh and clean Windows 10 from scratch so that I can phase out my old one.

Things I tried:

1. I have USB stick with microSD card (32GB) and try to make it a bootable device. Microsoft Media Creation tool fails.
1a. I copied Windows 10 ISO files onto that stick and forced it to be bootable (using EasyBCD). I could get into the installation but it gives me an error 0xC0000005 after few seconds of installing
2. I tried copying boot files onto the actual drive and make it bootable MBR disk. I get confused here as my external one is GPT and it's running fine
3. My new drive is seen in BIOS etc. but when I make it bootable I only get "no bootable device"

Honestly I never thought it would be so difficult to do such a simple task. Unfortunately I don't have CD/DVD in my laptop and the only thing I have is that usb port with microsd card reader.

Can anybody help me or guide me how to do it?

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

Fresh windows install help.

Hi.
I have Samsung Series 7 NP7005ZA-S0AUS laptop pc. I decided to do a fresh windows install so I used a flash drive to re-install windows (I formatted the hard drive at the begnining of the installation). When the laptop booted first time in the installation process, I got a screen saying boot menu but it's empty. I clicked alt+ctl+de, the laptop restarts and gets me back to the same screen. I entered the bios and made sure the hd is on the top of the list and save/restarted but same issue. I tried loading bios default settings and that did not help either. I noticed in the boot menu that there are exclamation marks next to the HD and the SATA DVD drives, not sure what that means but they were not there before. I honestly think a bios update can do the trick but there is no way to upgrade the bios of a samsung laptop without Windows like my case so I am stuck.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Notice: The hard drive has 8GB msata built in.
