W10 install to new SSD failing...

Hi!
I've decided to revive an old Acer laptop by replacing the HDD with a SSD.

I've created a W10 installation USB (and also a DVD) using the media creation tool. The boot order has been changed in the BIOS. All that I get is a square window logo and that's it, whether I use the USB or DVD media. No further progress.

A few notes. BIOS is set to Legacy (no option to change to UEFI). Windows version is 64bit (both already installed on old HDD and in created media).
​ACPI is set in BIOS.

Any help appreciated as Google is not being my friend..
