Like you have a secondary PC to use?

If so make a Gparted USB, using Rufus, and then format the drive there.

 

I think it wants a GPT partition table, you'll see the option in the software.

G parted can set up the drive at like kind of a deeper level, there's an option to change the partition tables in it that windows might be requiring.

Or if the drive shows up there you know the drive is fine at least

You just download the windows 10 ISO from microsoft's media creation tool and make the windows USB after Gparted does it's thing

rufus is only neccicary for linux iso files. All you will have to do is download the windows iso file which street guru linked above

Just do whatever it says to do after you pick which ISO you want to make bootable

Okej rufus just finished and at the end he said i need to disable secure boot, is that fine?

And by looking in the folders i see 2 folders with linux in name..
