How to run Setup.exe windows 10 installer

Hi, i want a dual-boot system where i have a HDD with one version of win10 and another HDD with another version of windows 10. today i tried to install win10 on my second HDD and i did that using the setup.exe file in the windows 10 ISO file but it said "this app can't run on your PC" I have seen those errors before but they never came when opening the setup.exe file, i even tried the file in the sources folder but it gave the same error and windows compatibility troubleshooter wasn't working either. (i don't have a working USB plz help)

To install Windows 10 on the second drive, you cannot do that by mounting the ISO and running Setup.exe from inside the original Windows 10, you must create a bootable USB and then boot form that to install Windows on the second drive . . .
