I tried using the tool from the microsoft site but after 30 minutes or so it always says windows 10 didn't install.I have an AMD A8-6600K processor which appears on the microsoft list as ok.Windows 11 however is not compatible with my cpu.I bought a cheap licence last year which I hope still works (although I understand that they can be hacked over time)? I have an SSD and a HDD on the pc and tried with both.
 
Have you made sure that your ISO is good, check it with Qemu

If you see the blue Windows logo when you run Qemu your ISO is ok and the problem lays elsewhere, if you still need help you are going to have to provide the below;

Information about your computer, is it a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the motherboard, providing these details will enable folk to better assist you.
 
I pressed format and the SSD no longer has a discoverable OS on it but windows 10 still wouldnt load.
 
Members have five minutes to edit their last reply if they wish to add anything further.

If using a computer and not a mobile phone, please avoid adding multiple posts while waiting for us to reply to your last, edit your last post to include anything that you wish to add, this will ensure nothing gets overlooked which can sometimes happen if a thread has more than one page,

Did you check that the ISO is good as was suggested.

Your pictures among other things show that the boot sequence is not correct.
