Toshiba Satellite (A660-11M) won't boot USB flash drive or a DVD for Windows installation

I've bought myself a new SSD for my secondary laptop (Toshiba Satellite A660-11M), due to a corrupted HDD.

After installing the SSD I've tried my bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive I always use but nothing happened. He discovers the Stick but the laptop is never able to boot it. I've tried 3 different USB flash drives and 4 different Windows ISOs. Also I used also Rufus and the Windows media creation tool.

My BIOS Settings don't show the Option for "secure boot" or a switch between UEFI and LEGACY. They just don't exist and even setting a Supervisor password didn't change anything. (Also I'm not able to update the BIOS due to a missing battery).

The really strange part is, that he also doesn't recognize any Windows 10 DVD. I could give that machine whatever I want and he won't boot anything.

Also no Linux live distribution of any kind has worked yet.

I've made a Windows 10 installation on the same laptop on the old HDD not more than 4 weeks ago. Everything worked fine then.

So does anybody have an idea how I can install Windows on this laptop?
