6. I've had 3 computers brought in with 8 on them that the customer wanted removed.

The UEFI BIOS does everything it can to keep you from loading anything but 8 on the computer( I figured that out when my Win 8 disk would boot every time). I was able to boot from the internal DVD drive on one but I had to change 3 different settings so that it would do so. On the other two, the only way to boot from either a Linux or Windows 7 disk was to use an external DVD drive on USB.
