Hi Eduard. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

Set the Windows Boot Manager first to boot always in a UEFI system, then trigger the media to boot using only the BIOS Boot Menu key for your PC brand here: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutor...

This avoids the flash stick restarting install when it reboots the PC during install. If you are forced to set the UEFI flash stick in the UEFI Setup shown in your picture then you MUST unplug the flash stick during these restarts to avoid this. But it is no longer correct to set it in the Boot Priority Order list, where the Windows Boot Manager must stay set to boot first always.

During a Custom install, at the drive selection screen delete all partitions down to Unallocated Space, then highlight the space to Click Next which automates formatting and begins install to make it foolproof.

This is all illustrated in the Clean Install steps in this tutorial which compiles the best possible install that will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

You will get and keep the best possible install to the exact extent you stick with the steps, tools and methods in the linked tutorial. It's a better install than any amount of money could buy and a great learning experience that will make you the master of your PC.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Sir, this is the second thread I've made. I've been trying for so many hours to make it, I pressed millions of buttons, tried to put each of those option the first one and tried to boot every one of them. I don't even know what triggered it, but probably the pressing of the F9 key made it work. Thank you so much. You are a god.
