Install Windows 7 on a Windows 8 Laptop?

Basically, I've had enough of windows 8 and 8.1. It's practically driving me nuts with all the small things.
Is there a chance of installing windows 7 onto my laptop? I did look it up when I first got the laptop, but something about the UEFI not being compatible with Windows 7 would make it hard to install?
No CD drive in this ultrabook either and just USB3.0 ports which is a problem.

Turn off secure boot.

Turn BIOS into legacy mode if possible.

Try start 8 ,, makes start menu / Desktop like windows 7. There are also free versions from other people but I have start 8 and like it.

I've tried that sort of stuff, only thing that would make me happy is to get W7 on my laptop.

Get ISO from HERE. Make sure you get the right version for the license you have/will buy.
