So the wheel set that came on my bike has a duraace 7800 10spd cassette. I recently procured a wheelset with a 9spd duraace cassette. Will I be able to make this new(er) wheelset work with a new 10 spd cassette? Or can I make it work with the 9spd?

I should really know this stuff...

Weary is the path that does not challenge.

Unless you have Dura Ace hubs on the new wheelset, yes, you should be able to mount a 10sp cassette and ride off into the sunset. You will not, however, get your 10sp drivetrain to work on the 9sp cassette (at least not properly).
