Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?

I installed a new NVME drive into my pc. And trying to install windows on it says windows failed to install. (I had wiped my previous c drive in the process)
I tried a few times and got the same issue so thought I’d try reinstalling onto my original c ssd. But got the same error.

I thought it was the usb I’m using to install from but have recreated that using the official Microsoft creation tool and also rufus.

Stuck for ideas now. Maybe remove the Nvme?
 
Always disconnect all other drives when installing from USB. Only the drive you're installing windows on should be connected. And make sure the BIOS is set to boot from that drive as well.
 
I didn’t wipe my existing c drive by accident. I wanted it all fresh and clean so wiped it myself while doing the install.

But I will try unplugging all other drives and see if that works.
 
Unplugged everything and installed a fresh new Nvme. Managed to install windows now so hopefully was that hdd causing issues.
