@TDP_Equinox, I got it from Microsoft, it's free for now because it's beta. But I did solve the issue. I removed the uefi flash drive from my boot priority and then reinstalled Windows 10. Worked like a charm. Took me over 13 hours to install Windows, this has to be the longest time yet!

So after a much longer day than necessary of getting my win10-64bit iso onto a bootable usb drive, and setting up my spare SSD to GPT, im still having issues. I ran the installer on the unallocated ssd that I initialized in windows 7, but for some reason after the install completes and the system reboots I cant boot into windows 10. During the install, the target SSD was the only hard drive in the system. When I try to boot to it, it says I should insert a bootable media and press a key.

Honestly, I can't remember, I believe its a fair bit of messing around and may or may not work, there are probably guides somewhere on the interwebs.

The first step to insanity is believing in your sanity.
