I have an Asus ROG GL702VM laptop, it's old hdd died a while back and I am just now getting around to installing a new one but it has been driving me crazy. I replaced the hdd with the new ssd, and inserted a windows installation usb into the laptop.
Problem 1: the installation will loop forever, returning back to the windows setup screen after finishing the install
Problem 2 (sort of solved): my ssd would not show up as a bootable device, I had to turn off secure boot and enable CSM support in the bios for it to appear.
Problem 3: I have tried to go back to the bios and change the boot order after the install finishes, but it just ignores this and goes straight back to the windows usb. If I straight up remove the usb, I get "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".
So clearly something is going wrong with the install of windows, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
