Can something change if I make an UEFI bootable USB pen containing the windows 7 installation disk?
I'm preparing it. I read the instructions here: UEFI bootable USB media for installing Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8 64-bit operating systems on Lenovo Think Branded systems - Lenovo Support (US)
I will give it a shot, never say never... Booting from UEFI I could succeed to install it.
Before you do any thing read the Link below ..
Dual Boot Installation - Windows 8 and Windows 7 or Vista
You do not need a USB Insulation to achieve that

Ok Maxie, I did not see the links before replaying. Thanks. I study the case more and more...
Maxie, thanks for the links and the help, but after many days and hours of hard work on Windows 8 to have a full functioning new PC, I do not want to downgrade it to windows 7. As it was when I changed from win3.1 to win95 to win2000 to winxp to vista to 7... at the end except for Vista I accepted the new OS. So I need to install windows 7 in a new partition of GPT style. I will come back again here to make you know if all drivers will be in place. Best regards. Stefano
Hi Stefano .... I do understand i have a Windows 8 Computer also ... It did take me a long time to get used to it ....
Hated the tiles and changed to Classic Shell and now all is good ..
Sure you can come back any time you need help :)
Thank you Maxie, you are an even-tempered fellow, maybe because grown in Belfast? ;-) However I have just tried to install Win 7 64 onto GPT/EFI via usb, but after starting it blocks.
