Your imaging app will need to support UEFI as does the favorite here Macrium Imaging - Windows 7 Help Forums.
I would always first install to UEFI to experience the features of your BIOS which is no longer even called a BIOS but is now UEFI firmware.
When we first encountered BIOS here we had to help many Bypass UEFI to Install WIn7 but this has not been necessary for nearly a year now as only one case I can recall has not been able to install to UEFI after most BIOS' have had the necessary firmware updates to cover deficiencies by being created for Windows 8 without realizing it was going to be such a flop. So there is almost always a configuration to install Win7 to UEFI, often only disabling Secure Boot on the Security tab, rarely needing some level of CSM or Legacy BIOS.
I've been running UEFI for two years now on my laptop and notice no downside. I was ready to abandon Acronis 2010 anyway since Macrium is superior.
