Windows 10: Win10 Installation Media Corrupt

I have an older system that is unable to run Win11 so I am trying to reinstall Win10 on it using a new NVME drive. I have created the installation media using a 64gb NTFS usb drive. I have the system able to post, but when I insert the installation media and start it I get a screen with vertical lines in this brown/yellow alternating colors.

Installation media boots to command prompt

I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

1. Windows logo on a black screen
2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
5. the initial Setup page appears

Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.
