Managed this once before but for the life of me can't remember how?

I have changed Mbr to GPT but installer wont work on either, I'm sure this is a common prob but cant seem to find the walkthrough?

Mainboard Gigabyte Z77-D3H

First attempt:

"Windows cannot be installed on this disc. The selected disc has a MBR partition table. On EFI systems Windows can only be installed to GPT discs."

So I changed the SSD to GPT
Tried to install again and get this

"Windows cannot be installed on this discThe selected disc has a GPT partition table Windows cannot be installed to this hard disc space The partition is a Microsoft reserved partition (MSR)"

Help??
