Solution
booting from windows 10 installer disk. go into advance mode/command promt..use diskpart clean command. if you have a hard drive as storage drive for safty unplug it so you wont lose any data. from inside the windows installer go into advance mode. delete all of the partion info on the ssd...reboot and then let windows 10 install itself on a blank ssd.

You have to have the Windows 10 install DVD...otherwise your only option is the clean install (essentially just a re-image) that comes with the download version of Windows 10.

Type "RESET THIS PC" in the Windows search bar next to the Start button to go through that process.
