Dualboot Slackware and Win7 on a UEFI-Notebook

[TheWormKill]

Hey all,

I am getting a new laptop and would like to install Slackware64 and Win7 (64bit) as a dual-boot on it. Since it uses UEFI, I will have to enable the legacy mode that emulates a normal BIOS, which is possible on the machine (a Lenovo IdeaPad G50-70). Question is: can I just follow the guides on dual-booting Win7 and Slackware considering the described setup? If no, which general procedure should I follow?
The desired partition layout for a 500 GiB drive:
8 GiB Linux Swap
92 GiB for /home
100 GiB for /
100 GiB for C:
200 GiB for D: and /data (can I just name it that way?)

If you can help me regarding the question and / or have comments / suggestions about the layout, that would be great.
Greets, TheWormKill

Actually UEFI is the BIOS emulating bullshit, legacy is the real deal and if you follow dual-boot guidelines for normal BIOS then you won't have any problems with legacy... I think?

OK, that's what I am referring to:

On page 30 it states that "UEFI" is the default bootmode, and installing anything except Win8 will require a switch to "Legacy Support". On the other hand, Slackware64 is able to boot directly from UEFI, but Win7 doesn't, right? (I am talking of Slackware 14.1)

That is mere nonsense, nix support took a while because of legal crap iirc.
You can boot other OS's only you need a way of chaining them.
As long as you have grub bootin you can boot anything after that.
I am using a similar setup on a macbook running arch, I could dualboot it with windows I just wouldnt know why I would want that.
I gotta say it was a real pain to setup but than again I never had anything to do with uefi before this device, works like a charm, I love macbooks with native linux.
