I'm having a tough time trying to install Windows from a USB drive. Every time I start the installation, it gets to about 10%, restarts, and then just loops back to the installer asking if I want to install Windows again. It's driving me crazy! Also, when I try to adjust the boot priority in my BIOS, the only option I see is the USB drive. It's like my computer only recognizes the USB and not my 2TB SSD for the installation.

Are you trying to install Windows 10 or 11? Knowing which version you're attempting might help narrow down the issue. Sometimes the installation can fail due to compatibility problems, especially if you're running Windows 11 on older hardware.
Sounds frustrating! Have you checked the integrity of the USB drive? It might be worth re-creating the installation media, just in case there was a corruption during the initial setup. Also, ensure that the BIOS is set to UEFI and not Legacy.
If you can, try to boot from another USB or use a different port. Sometimes, issues can arise from faulty USB ports or drives. Also, double check that your SSD is properly connected; if it’s not detected correctly, that could be causing the installation loop.
