I don't have an operating system installed on my laptop and when I try to boot Windows via USB, the screen stays black, I've read that the hard drive has to be formatted and I don't know how to do it without an operating system.
You have to start from something. Formatting would destroy all data that is on the disk. You need a USB stick with Windows on it if your device does not have a built-in recovery partition.
Formatting is actually done via the USB, provided that it has been made bootable for Windows.
Which laptop do you have there, maybe you can work with the command prompt while it boots.

Nothing is installed on the disk anyway and when I want to boot Windows via USB, the screen is either black or there's only the Windows logo, which does not change after an hour
I have an Acer Aspire 5 A51G-520q
When I load this onto my USB stick, there's only the Linux logo when booting
The whole time? Nothing starts?
Formatting before a Win installation is not necessary. - If the procedure is correct, this happens automatically as part of the Win installation.
Another reason is that the screen is black when trying to boot from the USB stick. - It can't be said which one, as your approach is not known.
E.g.: Have you changed the boot sequence for the Win installation in the UEFI / BIOS? Or are you trying to boot from the stick via the boot menu?
Does it help burning Windows 10 to DVD?
You can also install badly from a Linux, Microsoft Windows, with the necessary know-how you can set up Linux again using key combinations.

Exactly, I originally had Hackintosh on my hard drive and still need to use the Hackintosh Boot Clover
The question was to format the hard drive without an OS, there was no mention of a new installation, but of course it is also possible.
You have to boot from the BIOS. Or have I misunderstood something?
I came up with the idea of installing the M.2 hard drive from my notebook into my PC and then deleting all Hackintosh partitions and installing Windows from there, but unfortunately the M.2 hard drive from my notebook is too tight on the mainboard of the Notebooks screwed and I can't get them off.
When I boot from the BIOS, the screen just stays black
Sorry for the stupid question, but did you also boot the stick with GParted?
You, if you just want to install Windoof, just put an installation ISO on a stick and reinstall. You can then format hard drives in setup.
No, but I do it directly from the F12 boot menu
Yes, but if I want to install using the USB stick, then there's only the Windows logo and nothing happens even after an hour
I'm assuming that you don't want to install Win7. - There are problems with a modern computer. - It starts with USB 3.
It's actually less complicated with the boot menu.
I don't know how you loaded the USB stick. - Maybe it's because.
Start over with:
From this MS page: https://www.microsoft.com/.../windows10, download the "Tool" (= Media Creation Tool) ("Download Tool Now").
With the start of the downloads you come to the WIn10 download preparations.
In the menu offered for this, direct the Win10 ISO download to the USB stick. - Please refer:
When the process is complete, Win10 is loaded onto the stick in a bootable manner and is therefore ready for installation.
I hope your hard drive is initialized.
With the help of the installation stick, delete everything on the hard drive, as shown in the video from minutes 4:50 to 6:30.
They will be merged into an "Unallocated Space". - See:
Then the installation: Mark this storage space> click on "Next" at the bottom right.
The SSD is then repartitioned, formatted and Windows installed in one go.
When you come to the settings, I recommend that you carry out them as shown in the following video from minute 4:56.
