If its just win78 that you need for work, it can be installed in UEFI mode by setting the boot drive to whatever it will be after the install.
Upon restarting, hit the F-key that allows you to select the Boot Device (often its F12)
Now select the USB Win7 drive that is preceeded by "UEFI"
The rest of the win7 install is the same.
Sorry if that doesn't help.
