This my motherboard : MSI H110M PRO-VD Intel H110 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 mATX Retail
So I build a new PC for my little brother yesterday and tried installing Win 10 via a USB. Got the iso, tried Mediacreationtool but it wouldnt recognize my usb so I looked for another program and used WinSetupFromUSB1.7.
Creating a bootable usb worked without any problems.
Went ahead and plugged it in, the bios immediatly booted the installer for win 10 but when it asked me to choose a harddrive I got this: https://imgur.com/gallery/9XY8u (sorry it's in german)
"Windows cannot be installed on this harddrive - please check your optical drive (?)"
I don't know what media laufwerk translates to but I don't have a optical drive on this build since I never needed one myself.
I also can't use the format button.

'New' also gives me an error, it tries to create a new partition but fails to do so.

This seems to be kind of similar to my problem. The real issue is that my family lives a few states away, I build the PC as a surprise and now I'm back at home and can't help him install it since I myself don't know any way of fixing the issue.
Sorry if this post is a mess but I am frustrated as hell and seeing his dissapointed face once I told him that he has to wait a little longer literally broke my heart.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me fix this issue.
Edit: Don't know if this helps but when I checked my bios the HDD was on the 4th row in the advanced tab.
Pic of bios I took before I had to leave.

Solution
Problem most likely is because you are trying to install windows in incompatible mode.
UEFI boot requires disk in GPT format, legacy boot requires disk in MBR format.
Just clean the disk before installing windows onto it.
When booted from windows installation media, open command prompt and execute commands:
  • diskpart
    list disk
    select disk X (x - number of your 931.5GB drive, should be 0)
    clean
    exit
This deletes all data from the drive, so be carefull.
And relaunch installation.
