    Your windows 7 is on the mbr disk.

    If you want to change it gpt you can try mbr2gpt.exe as megahertz suggested.
    Sorry, This is not my wheel house and get the acronyms mixed up... I just used the CMD and cleaned the 10 SSD of all partitions and and rest it.. I rebooted and it looks like it will install windows 10 again like before. Before i mess with this anymore I need to double check my backups and make a current ISO.

    Thanks again,, Will report back to close this topic.

    This issue is all about MBR vs. GPT. The Windows 10 SSD cleaned is your opportunity to convert it to MBR. You do not want to install Windows 10 in GPT/UEFI style again.

    Because of your apparent bios limitations, it would be wise to have both os installed in the same mode.

    It's particulary helpful at having a boot selection created.
