In order to benefit from the new UEFI features (including faster system startup), you will have to prepare your USB device slightly different.
Main take-away here: UEFI accepts boot loaders in files placed a the FAT formatted boot volume
To prepare your USB stick (4GB minimum) manually follow these steps:
Do you want to check if Windows is installed in such a way that its actually using UEFI, please consult my other blog post.
Hi, are you sure about second "clean" in the sequence? I'd say that this wipes the drive, so your previous steps will be lost.... but maybe I'm wrong:)

Hi Tomas, you are absolutely right. Thanks for commenting, will fix it straight away!

I had trouble with this method as my motherboard (Gigabyte with Hybrid EFI) wasn't booting in EFI mode. I found the site at forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php helpful as to how to add an efi file to help the USB device boot in EFI mode.

i tryed everything in this tutorial but still my usbs tick didn't pop up in the list
This tutorial is missing the most important diskpart command: convert gpt This is the whole point of formatting with diskpart - to convert to gpt, because uefi systems only boot from gpt. Just issue "convert gpt" command after clean and your uefi install will work.
