Edit:
and yes I can boot to windows
Oh my goodness, I should really learn how to read. :-\ Below is the rubbish I wrote prior to this realization:
No on the same HDD I heard maybe it's because of UEFI
While it can be done, it's not worth the hassle, just get a separate drive and put win7 on one and linux on the other and you can use the bios to dual boot.
No and no; UEFI BIOS will
mostly mess up with Windblow$ 8 and all of the stupid fancy options, like, quick boot, secure boot - or whatever it's called (not even gonna go there ); hopefully it's not a real problem, and just a case of Grub2.
What usually happens is: 1) that if the Windblow$ copy is illegal and using some soft of loader to boot - Grub2 will get scr3wed up (note: DAZ is fine); 2) also, "since I have 150 GB of free storage" - will work best, if there's no partition, but only free space; this should've been done by removing the free partition from Windblow$ Computer Management prior to install.
Anyway, this can probably be fixed. Hopefully:
