Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

None

Guys, I am seriously need help. Why is my UEFI GPT Bootable Windows 10 installation media USB listed on where do you want to install Windows? I try to install Windows 10 in UEFI. I download the Media Creation Tool and then choose ISO and then burn ISO to Rufus software to USB drive in UEFI that listed here: How to install Windows 10 from USB with UEFI support
USB Flash Drive was set to FAT32. Both Drive 0 and Drive 1 were GPT.
Drive 0 Unallocated Space : SSD
Drive 1 Partition 1: My UEFI USB Bootable Windows 10. Type is Primary as well.

I would advise you, to use the media creation tool, it will burn the ISO to your flash drive for you, you will need to delete the contents of the flash drive first by formatting the flash drive.

I manual set my USB flash drive to GPT, will that going to reset as well? Now I have to choose USB Flash Drive when Windows Installation Media asks me Choose Which Media To Use?

 

[CyberTech]

Forget how WinRe or WinPE manages the disk's letters and numbers. Just click to install Windows on unallocated space and Windows will partition automatically and create EFI System Partition (no letter, hidden, FAT32), Recovery Partition (OEM, NTFS) and C Partition

^This!

Well remove USB flash after installed it so that mean the drive (SSD) will be primary? see what happens?

When you attach that USB drive does Windows Explorer sees it as a removable drive or as an internal drive?

Yes. That is why it show up in " Where do you want to install Windows " windows along with my SSD. My SSD should be the only drive show up in " Where do you want to install Windows " windows.

Remove the drive letter associated.

Press: Windows Key + X, click Disk Management, Right-Click on the Drive, click "Change Drive Letters and Paths", click "Remove" then click "ok" then Eject the flash drive from the system, and plug it back in again.

Reformat the flash drive, and use the media creation tool to burn the ISO to it.

When I remove the drive letter on my 64Build1803 USB, File Explorer will not show my USB drive at all. I can see my USB drive in Disk Management, but not in File Explorer. I have two 32GB USB flash drive, and when I plugged both in, it will listed the same thing in screenshot_3.png. Here is the screenshot of my 2nd USB drive plugged into a different USB port.

Format the flash drive now, and eject it when finished and plug it back in. It would be best to do a full format and not a quick one, choosing either NTFS or FAT32.

I am doing it right now and it is below 10%. I am doing a full format in Disk Management > right click on 64Build1803 USB > uncheck quick format.

WHen finished, eject it, then plug it back in, it should be recognized as a removable drive. Then use the media creation tool and burn the ISO directly from the media creation tool to the flash drive. Once finished, power down the system, boot into BIOS, adjust your boot order to boot from the flash drive first, and proceed with installing windows 10 cleanly.

I took this picture before formating 64Build1803 USB drive. I just installed Windows 8.1 from official Microsoft DVD that I got from Amazon and it is my Windows OS before upgraded to Windows 10. In Windows 8.1, its showed my USB flash drive under Devices and Drives showed in Screenshot_3.PNG in my post #27 . As matter of fact, In Windows 10 Build 1709 and upgraded to 1803 still show the same thing. All my removable drives listed under Devices and Drives in File Explorer. When I plugged in a removable drive, I get this notification that is showed in Screenshot_5.png attached in this post. Same thing with Windows 8.1 .

Now I need to figure out why the bloody hell my bootable USB flash drive showed itself in " Where do you want to Install Windows?" windows when it is not supposed to.

 

[SumTingWong]

My bootable USB flash drive still show up in Windows Setup at " Where do you want to install Windows" page. What the heck. I follow this video, and his/her USB flash drive doesn't show up in the Windows Setup. I tried Rufus, and Windows Media Creation Tool to USB.

Yes @Telos, I had one child, a boy and I swear this one reminds me of him, cocky, only half listening, but endearing, so I've fallen back to love others children as thy own, I truly believe in this way of thinking, especially this particular verse, and maybe I can do him some good in the future, maybe you too?

Win10 must be installed in the ACER partition (drive 1 partition 3) , 118gb is the size of the SSD; select it, and install Win10 there.

I tried to check if my USB show up in Windows Setup tested on my laptop and it does show up in Windows setup.

 

[BoraMurdar]

Do you have any USB drive of 8GB capacity? Because I think that Windows will show all the space where it can be installed, and your USB 32GB has 25GB of free space afterall.
It could be that 8GB USB drives are not going to be shown upon installation
