Some things need to be cleared up.
1) UEFI does not use MBR (Master Boot Record), UEFI uses GPT (GUID Partition Table).4) AFAIK Windows does not recognise non MS OSs in its bootloader, to have multiple options that include non MS OSs you must use a non MS bootloader as the primary bootloader (i.e. GRUB) which will then initiate the MS bootloader (NT bootloader) to boot MS OS installs. As mentioned above by someone else using os-prober will let GRUB know if there are other OSs installed.

certainly worth a try!
Debian has no issues with uefi, at least stretch.
good.
ps multiboot is the old way, if you have the hardware, virtualization
works great. I use Debian with Win7 as a guest..runs fine..caveat, I
have an OEM Win7 disk.,
yeah, I have a VM running under NetRunner too. I bought a copy of Windows 7 pretty cheap and got a license.
for no good reason, maybe mainly just lack of familiarity with VM, I'm inclined to keep 'the old way' available.
I do agree that the VM works nicely. I need it to work with the school's classroom projectors (hdmi) and this I haven't tested yet.
