Glad to help! By the way, once I even encountered a rare case - with Windows XP - where simply upgrading the proprietary UEFI caused Windows to bluescreen :P maybe that could've been fixed, but I didn't have Internet to look up the solution for this problem so had to reinstall XP. Luckily that has never happened to me with a more modern Windows like 7, and currently I prefer to run Windows in a virtual machine: aside from a few unusual tasks where a direct access is really required -- like upgrading the firmware of MicroSD card reader or resetting the controller of USB flash drive with a windows-only proprietary tool to get it working -- this Windows virtual machine is sufficient for the majority of tasks at almost-native performance.
