i'll be honest i don't have a windows 10 install media to follow you along , but essentially if the drive has no partitions at all it should work , maybe try partitioning/formatting the disk first before the install?

Get into the Windows Recovery Menu, click on advanced options, go to command prompt, type in diskpart, then type in list disk to see which one your HDD is (probably disk 0) then type in select disk (number) then type in clean. reboot your computer and BOOM! Windows 10 is gone and your disk is clean.
