The alternative that I'd propose is using Clonezilla to image the vendor-shipped drive, install CentOS 7 on the HD, and then re-image the drive if necessary.
It's how we treat all Lenovo machines, regardless of whether they'll be running Linux or Windows. Having the original disk image has come in very handy on more than once occasion.
