Friend asked me for help to revive his laptop, his hdd died months ago and replaced it with a blank one.

got him a bootable Windows 10 USB Flash drive to do the reformat

created a GPT partition with 180GB.

upon installing the said OS it should restart automaticall  to begin the actual installation, but that's not the case for this laptop, it gets stuck here.

see:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZyDnHFx8np96kaXk6

 

I pressed ctrl+alt+del to force a restart.

went into the bios via F2 and saw only the HDD and DVD drive 

but I did saw Windows Boot Manager in the boot override list which as far as I know shouldn't be there.

I restarted it again with the hdd still on 1st boot. still nothing it gets stuck with the blinking cursor

I took out the only hdd and powered it back up and Windows Boot Manager is still in the list of the override

I think it's one of the cause of the problem.

not quite sure how to troubleshoot this since it's my first time encountering such issue.
