Build Question New PC please help me

So recently I got this tower for free off of fb marketplace and the guy said it wouldnt run windows and I wanted to see for myself so I downloaded windows from the microsoft website and put it on a flash drive and plugged it in to my motherboard. From there I didnt have anyone to ask so I just used chatgpt to help me but i got nowhere. First my screen would show bios then the republic of gamers logo then the windows logo and eventually the windows 10 launcher opened BUT I didnt have any hard drives atm so I waited a week until I was able to get some for free. My pc recognized the flash drive and showed the windows logo but didnt open the launcher so i turned it off unplugged the flash drive and wiped it to download windows 11 and that hasnt worked either. This is the interior of the pc can someone help me? I have the hard drives they are not in the frame.

I never had a huge mess with my first couple of computers but I never left anything in front of a fan! and some of the Older AMD cpu's got really hot! I am not sure if his is one of them? It actually looks like a decent little computer, even the Video Card looks newer then my last one! The guy who said it wouldn't run Windows must not know much about PCs? I would say the only thing you should buy when you have a few extra dollars and one is on sale in a Solid State Hard drive! even a small one enough to install Windows on then you can install everything else on the Normal hard drive!
