Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

I have a Dell Latitude E6530 that has Windows 7 installed to a 4TB SSD under UEFI mode, and I was wondering how to get Vista working under UEFI mode so I can dual-boot it with the already installed 7. Thanks in advanced for your guys' help!

If regular 7 worked, then regular Vista should work too.
Use Rufus to write it to the USB as GPT for UEFI.

If not, maybe try this.

I will try the guide you linked. Windows 7 only works as I had to apply the install.wim via DISM (through Mini Windows 10) and then delete the Basic Display adapter and integrate the Intel HD 4000 graphics. I got a black screen for the first part of setup, and then I was able to see everything during the 2nd part. And I have tried writing Vista as UEFI using Rufus, but when I boot it, I get a black screen (Windows 7 also does this as well).
