after resetting my Asus k501lx the windows 10 was beginning the install but was interrupted. Now it does not complete. I get a pop-up box that says " click ok to restart and install windows". I'm caught in this loop.

is there anything on C drive you want to rescue? try making this on another PC: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/
Also, on another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

After a broken reset, I would suggest a fresh install
There is a chance that if you start PC using the USB it will repeat a similar warning saying to continue process, remove USB and boot normally but this generally just leads to first error. If this happens, and you have a HDD, download and run dban on drive and it will wipe it and you can continue fresh install. Dban may not work on SSD

change boot order in BIOS so USB is...

change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

when you reach screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)
