I just purchased a dell inspiron 15r se with win8. I want to remove the existing hd and install a samsung 840 256g ssd and win7. From what I've been reading there seems to be a problem booting from the win7 dvd on a machine using uefi. Perhaps I misunderstand but can anyone tell me if I will have problems doing this (and how to solve them)?

I get the drive this week so just want to be prepared.

Thanks,
Rut
