Cant install windows 10 from USB drive, cpu is i7-7700k
Hi, will start describing the situation.
My pc is very old, its a gygabyte GA-Z270-HD3P. I want to use it again since i7 is quite decent even for 2022. The issue is i stopped using it because of some unkown issue no one ever helped me with, now when i restarted it, it keeps giving me this error: exception scope invalid or Kmode exception not handled after saying "preapring for automatic repair".
I thought "okay, lets just install windows from 0 using a USB drive". However the result, with both windows 11 and windows 10 is "unsupported processor".
I have not found ANY issue stating that windows 10 cant be installed on my CPU, and even though there are many vids and threads helping install on unsuported CPUs, i cant even do that since i cant get out of bios.....Its in a constant loop of restarting itself, entering repair, and giving the error.
Does anyone have any idea how i might solve this? Thank you

Restore the default settings in the BIOS, then update the motherboard BIOS to the latest version. Finally, use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to recreate the installation USB drive.
