I remember one time when I had to disconnect my PC from the router completely to get any further in a Win 7 installation ...
Try to unplug all hardware that isn't absolutely necessary. If you are using WiFi, consider to switch to a LAN cable for the installation.
CMOS battery should not be an issue, because a as long as you don't disconnect your computer from power, the settings won't be lost, even without the battery.
try Clear CMOS so your System forgets the old Secure Boot Settings. then make sure AHCI and Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS Settings.
befor you install Windows 10 pick UEFI USB Flash from the Boot List.
during Installation delete all Partitions from the SSD and click new. Windows Setup will inform you about additional Partitions it will create. click Ok and install Windows.

Hi.
try Clear CMOS so your System forgets the old Secure Boot Settings. then make sure AHCI and Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS Settings.
befor you install Windows 10 pick UEFI USB Flash from the Boot List.
during Installation delete all Partitions from the SSD and click new. Windows Setup will inform you about additional Partitions it will create. click Ok and install Windows.
i hope it works this Way.
