Hello!
I tried installing 2.2 and converting it to UEFI on a Dell Inspiron 3135, but I had a problem with getting the Shutdown Menu to respond in a timely fashion. To get it to shut down quickly, I had to do a CTRL-ALT-F2 and then do a CTRL-ALT-F8 to get to the Shutdown Menu in less than 60 seconds.
I was able to install LL 2.2 in Legeacy Mode on a dual-boot with Windows 8.1 UEFI. It involved pressing F12 at startup and selecting the Legacy partition with LL on it. I didn't want to have to do that, either, so I ultimately decided on 8.1/MATE Remix installed in UEFI mode for that PC.
For backing up, I'd copy the whole drive on the Lenovo using Redo Backup. That way, if you need to restore things, you will be able to pick things back up right where you left off...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
