3F0 is the primary hdd as detected by the BIOS. If there's more than one HDD in the system, make sure you're installing Windows to the correct drive. Also make sure BIOS is in UEFI / Secure Boot mode. The latest Windows 10 20H2 won't install on a legacy boot system unless you install an older OS 1st, then 'upgrade' to Win10.

Are you booting/installing off a USB stick? Or are you using the F11 recovery method?
