Windows 10 Wont boot - GPT issue? Maybe update related?

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum or not.. If not, please point me in the right direction and accept my apology!
Sorry if this is long, but I want to give adequate back story.. My issue is that I had a Win10 Enterprise insider preview install that's been working well for months. I recently decided I wanted the ability to pop-in a second hard drive, and/or swap out hard drives to boot other OS's without messing up my Win10, so I installed two hot-swap hard drive caddies.
With my Win10 in the top caddy, and the second caddy empty, I've been using it this way for weeks, with no problem. I had a friend who asked for help with their PC, so before I did anything, I wanted to get a good image backup of it, and couldn'

Can't get 8.1 updates because of Windows 10 pending download
location:
winsecrets.com - date:
August 20, 2015
Windows 8.1 is working fine and I've decided to wait a month or two before moving up to Windows 10. (I've been following 10 previews as a Windows Insider)
I get the list of weekly patches, but when I tell Windows to download and install them, after they are downloaded it starts downloading Windows 10. When I click on Cancel Download (for Windows 10), I can no longer see any of the patches and nothing gets installed.
Is there away to put the Windows 10 download aside and keep 8.1 current with the new patches?

Cannot update Windows 7 without being forced to download Windows 10
location:
7forums.com - date:
August 11, 2015
I'm holding off on upgrading to Windows 10, and Windows 10 has been intentionally trying to install itself despite that. I cannot shut down my computer without going through the log-off screen to pick "Shut down" without installing updates.
Then a bunch of updates for Windows 7 were released, and I can't install any of them because as soon as I do, Windows Update starts downloading Windows 10 again after I had deleted it.
I had uninstalled KB3035583 yesterday to avoid the install message coming up every time I booted up, but now the GWX tray icon never shows up and it just tries to automatically install via windows update.
What do I do to stop this? I'm absolutely sure as a result of this program behavior that I do not
