Yes It works seamlessly.



The only problem I faced was that grub continued to display the OS name as Windows 7 in grub loader menu.



If you wish you may fix that using these commands:




  1. cd /etc/grub.d/

  2. sudo gedit 30_os-proper

  3. search for:




case ${LONGNAME} in
Windows Vista*|Windows 7*|Windows Server 2008*)
;;
*)



  1. change the Value of 7 to 8 or


  2. insert text '|Windows 7*|Windows 8*|'


  3. run sudo update-grub


  4. Reboot your PC to verify :)
