If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or internet, and then try again. If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted. - OK
Then I click ok after that I only see recycle bin and task bar, which can not do anything background is black, so I restart by using ctrl+alt+delete and run safe mode(safe mode with network).

Please watch this video:
The media creation tool will work for you. Just be sure to download the same windows 10 version you have, pro or home 64bit or 32 bit. The tool is pretty good at picking the right version.
This is where you download the official Microsoft ISO from.
Go here.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Read through the option that says using the tool to create installation media for another pc. Even though it is for the pc you are using.
(It is the 2nd plus sign under download tool now.) Follow the directions.
If you download the tool first to your downloads folder then open the downloads folder and right click the file for the properties. Click in the unblock box at the bottom of the properties page. Then again right click the file and choose run as administrator. It will ask where you want to download the file choose your USB flash drive you have plugged in. Accept defaults if they are correct. The iso will download to your USB drive.
To install reboot pc with usb flash drive inserted. as soon as the pc is starting up (must be quick) keep on the F12 or (what ever your pc uses )key then choose to boot from usb drive once the boot menu comes up. Setup should start automatically.
Hope this helps.
