When installing Windows, boot to USB with UEFI.
Can you explain this part?

shadowsports:
Use the Windows Media Creation tool to make a bootable USB stick with windows 10.

You'll perform a fresh install.  When you are selecting the disk to install to, use SHIFT+F10 to open a command prompt.  Then use the diskpart command to convert the drive to GPT format.  Select that partition / disk to install windows.

I have an old Z97 board.  Windows 10 installs fine and has native support for the killer NIC.  You don't need to disable anything. 

These are the commands for converting the disk to GPT:

type diskpart, press enter
type list disk, press enter
type select disk x (Note x is an example be sure to select the correct number)

Disk x now selected

type clean, press enter
type convert gpt, press enter

Then quit and continue the install.
