This may work flawlessly. However (and it's a big however) it may not. To combat this I would suggest that before you did anything you back up your systems and ensure you have install mediums for both windows 7 and Ubuntu. This would at least mean that the systems can be reinstalled and your data retrieved if the worst should happen. Ubuntu 64 bit supports both UEFI and secureboot so in theory there should be no issues there. However grub is used differently in uefi than it is on a normal system and you would need an efi entry for Ubuntu and for windows 7 so efi acts as your os selector rather than grub. In saying all that it may work out of the box and you notice no real different because efi also has a bios compatibility mode,called legacy, that the system may enable by default and you be none the wiser for it. I would also suggest though that if you had no issues on Quantal but are in Raring that it may be a kernel issue. Just because it is stable for everyone else doesn't mean it is for that particular machine, So I would file a bug first and see if there is any news from that before you go all kung-fu on the bios/uefi system. "ubuntu-bug linux" in a terminal will file most of the information on a kernel bug for you. - -- You make it, I'll break it!
