I do not know of any distribution that supports UEFI Windows and CSM-BIOS Linux installations. At the least you are stuck depending on the firmware's boot manager to switch between Linux and Windows, because a BIOS GRUB will not boot a UEFI Windows.
I don't know what is CSM, Compatibility Support Module. It is a faux-BIOS presented to the operating system to treat the system as if it has BIOS firmware instead of UEFI firmware. If a CSM is used, then the bootloader will be BIOS based, not UEFI based.
but for sure grub can boot UEFI windows (may be simply launching EFI binary) - at least grub-efi (install in uefi mode) No because the Linux distro installer will install a BIOS based bootloader, which won't chainload a UEFI bootloader.
A friend bought a new Windows 8 HP computer and wanted Windows Seven on it. I used a live CD to delete the old partition scheme and tried to install Windows 7. I had to go in and disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy Boot in order to install Windows 7 on the blank hard drive. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution. Cats are tiny little women in fur coats.
