Windows 10 Install Help GPT?

Hi so I had a great working 2014 PC with Windows 10 but I replaced the drive. The new drive is an SSD that I used another computer to clear allocation and make it into GPT. I had created a Windows 10 install drive and went through the usual but initially it didn’t let me install on MBR. It told me to make the drive into GPT. When I did GPT it was saying it can’t (apparently it helped to remove the allocation from another computer) well now that’s its not allocated and in the windows setup it says “The partition on the disk selected for installation are not in the recommended order. For additional information installing to GPT disks go to Microsoft website and search for GPT.” Well I installed anyways with the proceed button and it installs but wont boot even though I set the disk as the boot option in BIOS. I tried to change the CSM off but that just make a boot loop so I turned CSM back on. I tried to change UEFI to legacy boot but it just wouldn’t show my drive. Right now boot mode is set to UEFI and the drive is in GPT but unable to boot off it for some reason. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Thank you!
