I guess there must be a way to see the EFI partition from inside Windows - sometimes called the 'system' or 'hidden' partition. Not sure though, because first thing I do with a new computer is to erase Windows completely.

However, on a EFI-system, when installing Linux you'll have to create an EFI partition (around 100 MB) anyway and put grub-efi on it. On my system that is sda2.  As far as I can tell there is no way of getting rid of this UEFI rigmarole and revert to the good, old BIOS.

There is some further information here:
