Fresh Install Won't Recognize Storage

Hi, recently I've been having some troubles with a laptop I have. It's a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 and I'm currently trying to do a fresh install on the system but for some reason after I finish through the Windows 10 install via USB, my laptop says there's no bootable drive available. Both my BIOS and Windows installer recognizes the storage properly and testing the storage on a different computer shows that there is nothing wrong with any of the storage devices, I have also tried different HHDs and SSDs to no avail. I'd assume something would be wrong with the sata controller or cable, but I can boot from rescue disks such as Hirens and even Windows 7 embedded. So currently, I'm at a loss what to do. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

Maybe set the BIOS to UEFI and try reinstalling?

I have tried that with the same success I've been having before, unfortunately.

So update, I decided to try using an older version of the Windows 10 installer and it finally worked. I don't know why the newer one didn't but it updated just fine to the current version. Thanks for the help though.
