installing Pre-Installed Windows 8 to SSD

I recently made a thread with my issues with my Windows 7 PC. Since they drove me mad, I opted to upgrade the entire PC. Headed to my local PC store today and decided to get myself a new Acer M51BC.

Everything was pretty much what I wanted, with the exception of an SSD. I figured that would be no issue as I'd stick my old SSD in there and reinstall.

Now, today I decided to create the recovery USB in Windows, put an old SATA drive I had in as a test and re-installed Windows 8. It ran perfectly and before I knew it I had Windows 8 up and running.

Now, I decide to use the SSD since I knew what I was doing, this is where my problems start.

I still have the USB in the computer, and everything is exactly the same before with the exception that this SSD still has my Win 7 OS on it. I guess there is a chance the Windows 7 installation may be causing issues, which is why I mention it, Maybe I need to put it back in the old PC and format before I do this?

Anyway, here's why it's not working. When I go to 'Reset your PC' I get the same options as before, However this time I'm told 'Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing.'

Any help is greatly appreciated!
