Welcome to LQ.

Have a look here for assistance:

You may well not need to set a temporary Supervisor Password, which I have only had to use with Acer.

Go into bios uefi and turn off secure boot, put on legacy mode. Then boot to your .iso and install. Done. Pretty easy.

You may not need to turn off any features.

See the Centos web help pages for how to instructions.

Centos 7 is supposed to simply boot and install on uefi systems.

There you go, even easier.

I didn't want to say that uefi is not much of a standardized implantation. However bios wasn't very standard either so ymmv.

You do know that you can install a linux distro unhide recovery partition & do update-grub to boot recovery & restore to factory?

Cool!

The last time I installed CentOS 7 I told the Partition Manager during the installation to take over the entire HDD.
You should have the same option.

It's as easy as erik2282 has already mentioned.
