> Hard drive check
That test just confirms that it is possible to "physically" read from & write to the disk-drive
That test does not confirm that the "logical" contents of the disk-drive are not corrupted.
To load Windows, some files must be read from the disk-drive, to "start rolling the ball".
If those files are corrupt, or missing, then "no operating system (files) found" is the error-message.
Can you boot your computer from the Windows 10 Installation Media, and choose "repair" instead of choosing "install" ?
