I think you need to delete the android partition use a Linux distro boot to bios and choose boot from file option , choose linux usb , then efi , once Linux booted delete all partitions with gparted , reboot to bios with Windows installer usb again boot from file choose windows usb , efi , boot32 file and install on whole 32gb

So you have a UEFI Bios.
See if this helps.

I have wintel pro like you it won't boot usb straight I have too find in the bios the boot from file option which lists the partitions , I choose the usb and find the efi directory from there I can boot any usb once it has an efi efi boot . You could try mounting your installer inside your booted windows and hit the install exe thatwill start the install and maybe the option to partition
