TLDR
I made a windows installer with Rufus that supports both UFEI and MBR, and both options work in another system, but UFEI causes freeze on splash screen and regular usb causes freeze on windows logo in this system. I also added a hdd to this system that has windows 8.1 on it and that boots and works fine as well. Despite false alarms about memory and hdd the hardware seem to work fine.
I tried the usb in different slots, and tried to turn off legaxy support for usb, but that just resulted in my keyboard being unrecognized and leading to a cmos reset.
The entire issue started an issue the system not booting and simply giving me black screen, and issue i narrowed down to the ssd, but the ssd was fine too, only the windows installation was beyond hope. I installed a new windows from the exact usb i am trying to use on my other system on it.
Out of desperation i even tought of installing windows on my working system and bringing it over, and once i tried that with the ssd it did boot and seemed to work fine, but ended up giving me a black screen in about a minute. Oddly enough the windows 8.1 that i installed on the other system seem to work fine. I don't want to upgrade or mess with the windows 8.1 installation because i plan on returning it back to my other system. I simply want to install a new windows on a partition of my hdd.
It's an older system
Asrock b75 pro
i5 3570
Radeon 7950
My corrently working system just now only rezognized the usb drive while booting and in the disk manager. Unfortunately i don't have a spare because i only use it for system installs.
Next up the plan is to make a boot partition on the ssd, and use it to install windows on the hdd.
