Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI - UEFI install of windows 7

[40kbunny]

Hi

Fairly new to this. I have just bought the following system:

Gigabyte Ga Z97X-SLI motherboard
4th gen quad core i5 4460 3.2 ghz processor
crucial 8gb ddr 3 1600 mhz ram
750 watt power supply
kingston 120 gb ssd
(assorted graphics cards etc)

Ive been doing alot of reading on the installing windows 7 in UEFI mode. Ive been through the manual for the motherboard however still alittle confused at what settings i should use to try and attempt this.

My thought is that is the following on the settings on the BIOS

Windows 8 feature : OS Other
CSM Support - Default (cant change this unless its windows
Boot Mode Selection - UEFI Only
Storage Boot Option Control - UEFI First
Fast boot - Disabled

I plan to do this off a USB stick the verison will be x64 for windows 7. Can anyone confirm if this is correct or is there anything else i should do in order to get windows 7 to install via uefi mode?

Any help would be great?

though more reading now suggests i have to have fast boot enabled in order to be able to use the usb drive as bootable device??

Just make sure you have the USB drive plug in. Then have it booting to the UEFI USB drive or USB drive in the first boot option. You should be fine.
