Caution: DO NOT run native Windows disk tools like fdisk on your Mac. Not even for an instant. It will DESTROY the partition map, eliminating your Mac partition, system, and all your files.
you must use boot camp assistant, and nothing else.

On a Mac, the key combination to enter macOS Recovery Mode is Command (⌘) + R. However, since you're using a Windows keyboard, you'll use Windows + R to mimic the Command + R command. Make sure to press these keys right after you hear the startup chime and keep holding until the Apple logo appears.
If this isn’t working, you might want to double-check if your keyboard is functioning correctly or try a different keyboard if possible.
Boot Camp assistant is already on your Mac, in the /Application/Utilities folder.

why do you need Recovery Mode for Windows install?
Windows is installed using Boot Camp Assistant
¿do you have a Time machine backup drive connected?

Make a Windows bootable USB. Restart your Mac and press Option. Choose the USB drive and start Windows.
