Solution
Yup Windows Defender is a fine tool but I'd still run a scan of Malwarebytes..

Other than that try the basics:

File scans
Right click on the Start menu icon and from the revealed list choose 'admin command prompt'. Type:
sfc /scannow
press enter and await results

In the same command prompt and after the above scan has finished type:
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Press enter and await results (longer this time).

If the first scan found files it could not repair but the second scan is successful, run the first scan again using the same command prompt box and this time it should repair the files found.

Run a chkdsk:
Link Removed

Stress test the GPU using furmark:
FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU...
Did you wipe the drive and remove windows 7?

If the drive is now wiped clean I would do this.

Remove your new HDD with windows 10.

In it's place plug in the now wiped clean drive.

Make sure your ready to boot from install media by changing the boot order

Remember to press any key when prompted at the start of the new install. If you miss the prompt windows won't install.

Install Windows 10, when it asks for a key simply click 'I don't have one'. As long as you did the proper upgrade from 7 to 10 then it will be added automatically once your online and signed in with your Microsoft account.

Do not reattach your new drive yet. Let's see if we can get win 10 running smoothly first.
