UEFI has been around for a long time, and x64 Windows supported UEFI booting since Vista SP1 (note that due to some stupidity in Vista and 7 bootloader, BIOS compatibility [CSM] must be enabled, otherwise Windows won't boot). Only SecureBoot is new in Windows 8, and must be disabled to install 7. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > Anyone who says he isn't going to resign, four times, definitely will. -- Galbraith's Law of Political Wisdom ________________________________________________ Current version is 6.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
