[Help] Reinstall Windows 10 after bootloader is already installed?

Hi,
I built my Hackintosh nearly 2 years ago and it was working fine running Yosemite and Windows 10 technical preview. However, due to my own stupidity, I accidently formatted my Windows 10 partition of my SSD and now am not sure how to reinstall Windows on that disk. I am using a Chimera Bootloader and whenever I go into my boot menu and try to boot off a USB with a full version of Windows 10 it goes black and then boots me into OSX.

Any help?

Thanks

Hardware info in your profile is insufficient to even guess at the problem.
Are you booting with Chimera or Clover?
Did you install Windows Legacy mode or UEFI mode?

And there is your problem - Chimera is a Legacy install only boot loader. For UEFI installations use Clover.

Ok so I presume I just follow the steps on this site to upgrade to clover. Will this then let me reinstall Windows?
Thanks for you help
