i have tried:

1. automatic repair, multiple times multiple restarts.

2. repairing usb current installation media ms. (and formatted , re-downloaded media files few times)

3. ran bootrec, bootsect, chkdsk, sfc in command prompt

4. volume list correct (i believe)

5. cloned hard drive new hard drive

6. bios seeing drive

7. believe have tried of buttons under troubleshooting (and advanced button) in windows re. cannot repair, reset, recover, etc. says can't basically. it's if can't find os.

8. tried booting usb, clicking "install now" "upgrade." window pops says "compatability report" , under says "the computer started using windows installation media. remove installation media , restart computer windows starts normally..." 

9. have not tried custom install.

10. cannot restart in safe mode or restart options available startup settings.

hi,

you might check in bios make sure boot sequence correct...

it may need set efi partition or windows boot, or similar, instead of c:\...

sometimes major date, "recovery" partition added... 400mb or so..

this or else may have messed boot sequence...
