Questions on Grub2 and UEFI

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on a system that has Windows 8 on an
SSD at /dev/sda.  I'm trying to install Ubuntu on /dev/sdb.  The real
problem comes in the grub2 boot loader not being able to boot Windows 8.  I
tried downloading boot-repair but it keeps telling me that I'm running in
'legacy' mode and need to boot as using UEFI.

I've been using google to try and figure this out but the answers are
rather confusing.

Do I need to create an EFI systems partition on /dev/sdb and install grub2
there?
Or do I need to install the grub2 boot manager on the EFI systems partition
on /dev/sda that currently contains the Windows boot manager?

Or is there something that I'm missing here?

Thanks,

Braun Brelin
