the 720 works out the box without drivers. Have you tried installing the windows 7 drivers?

So it is odd that the W7 drivers aren't providing the correct functionality, as I didn't think W8.1 had changed the driver model that much.

windows 8 does have a system image option.
How big is the hdd? you could try shrinking the volume to allow windows 7 to dual boot?

Just to add if the win 7 drivers do not install from the regular installer try to force them to install by browsing using device manager
