Consider using Windows Server for reliability and backup capabilities. It offers better performance than Win 7 and supports multiple drives. Your hardware is suitable for a server setup, though you may want to upgrade RAM if needed. A Z97 processor is adequate for this task.

Windows Server 2012, the File and Storage Manager offers great ease of use. I've relied on it for software installations and found it very user-friendly.

R2 Essentials is currently priced at $399 on Amazon, but you might be able to get a more affordable option.

You're just looking for a disk or ISO with a key to work on Windows 10. That should be fine, you're not going crazy.
