I have looked thru the bios options in the manual and do not see a legacy option, so I assume windows 7 needs to be installed in EFI mode. With this being the case, and intels website showing full support for windows 7/8/8.1 will this system work well. I heard UEFI and win7 do not play well.
Win 7 in UEFI mode w/ new intel haswell board
- Thread starter Compman55
- Start date
yes that's how I do it when I want to install Windows 7 on my Windows laptop. I have to disable Secure Boot and Enable CMS as well.
The thing is, I feel the CPU doesn't perform as good as it does on Windows 8 with Windows 7, dunno why

Problem is I did not buy the board yet, and I cannot find any entrys in the bios on how to do this. Does anyone have experiance with intel boards?
on my ASUS laptop, all I have to do is go to the security tab, then disable secure boot, then go to the BOOT Tab, and Enable CMS
Enabling CMS will disable UEFI mode and allow the legacy Windows installers to be able to run

Just for the sake of clarification, it's CSM (Compatibility Support Module), not CMS. Otherwise G73S is spot on.
you're confusing UEFI with GPT
GPT is required for 2TB+ HDDs/SSDs. UEFI is for fast booting which bypasses the regular POST
I have my SSD formatted in GPT even though it's 256 GB and I disabled UEFI boot coz i on windows 7 Pro
