So, the steps are: 1) Backup data you wish to keep, perhaps create a Windows PE file of your current drive in case it messes up later. 2) Associate your Windows license with your MS account and/or grab your Windows key using Produkey. 3) Use a USB Flash Drive with at least 4GB of storage on it and install the Windows Media creation tool. 4) Go into Settings - > Update and Recovery - > Wipe all existing data. 5) Go into BIOS and enable the USB Flash drive as boot device. 6) Install Windows to SSD (I had to remove the HDD SATA connector from my motherboard to do this, since it refused to install windows while two drives were present. 7) Install drivers and re enable HDD. 8) Ensure that the SSD is the primary boot device in BIOS once install is done.

Occasionally, after deleting them, you cannot select the remaining partition to install to. Dave mentioned that this might happen and to restart the machine and it worked itself out.
