    IS it better to install Windows using UEFI or BIOS on this machine? What have other users done.

    If you want to install Win8.1 or Win10, then UEFI is the only way to go. Lots of benefits like security, storage space barrier, minor speed gain etc.)

    If you want to install Win7, then really doesn't matter too much, I'd still choose UEFI with CSM.
