Windows 10 USB unable to install onto a (ASUS motherboard) custom built tower

I see little reason why this should be closed quite frankly as I am merely trying to install Windows 10 OS onto a fresh system and all I'm asking for is help on troubleshooting the problems regarding it.

I just put together a custom-built tower a few days ago with a friend of mine and got everything working all the way into boot and now all I have to do is install windows onto one of my NVME drives on it and then install the other NVME drive onto the motherboard and create a partition on another for Manjaro (an attempt at dualbooting, basically), but I have been unable to get Windows installed because every time I try, either the USB goes undetected or it shows up a terminal-like screen on the monitor (black screen with blinking underscore).

I am running an ASUS motherboard on the custom built and have tried setting the boot priority to both UEFI and non-UEFI drive options given by the USB and setting secure boot to “Other OS” as well as something called Windows UEFI (or similar, can’t remember the exact name). With every given possible combination given those parameters whilst leaving everything else on default it just won't go into the installation properly. I've even tried making sure both the boot 1 and 2 options are the UEFI and non-UEFI versions of the bootable USB with the NVME drive at 3.

I am trying to install this without being forced to use secure boot every time though, since from what I understand there is some kind of bug or feature from Windows that prevents users from booting into a Linux distro on the same system (but I could be wrong).

I was using Manjaro KDE plasma to flash the USB before trying to install it onto the custom built using this method:

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

The 9th gen processors that are currently available is still the P0 stepping and will eventually be replaced with the new R0 stepping processors.

Here are the screenshots I took from Gigabyte's website




Gigabyte redacted the new R0 processors from the list a day later.
