Yes, of course.

  Now this, of course I cannot know. Please check out with the 
manufacturer if the disk is indeed on gpt and the computer is really UEFI.

I used easybcd (on someone's computer who doesn't want grub) and it is 
not bad to restore windows boot (rather than using fixboot/fixmbr for 
which I have no windows disks) but there will always be a lag before 
easybcd catch up, like on grub2 and now on uefi boots. So if the options 
are greyed out, and the website states so, it doesn't work yet.
