Hopefully this can help someone along the way. I was unable to find a guide for a more permanent install on a dedicated PC for recallbox.

Download BelenaEtcher and Recallbox image
Format your HDD/SSD to ntfs, make sure it's allocated and hook it up to your main PC/Laptop running windows --I hooked mine into an empty m.2 slot I had but also works with SATA and USB enclosures. Its much faster if a process hooking straight onto your board.
Open Belena and select your .iso/.tar
Select your drive. --Belena registers HDD/SSD's as a system drive so you'll have to click the tab for system drives
Confirm you want to flash to a system drive
Voila now you have Recallbox on your hard drive.

I have a dedicated business thin client that I'm using to run off of so there's no dual booting involved and now I have 1tb of disk space for games. Copy your roms through Samba, process is MUCH faster using the m.2 rather than straight onto the USB stick.
