Dual Boot Windows + Apple OS

Hey I just bought a new desktop from CyberPower, for gaming, but also want to be able to boot to an Apple OS for more general use (and also for my wife who prefers).

 

I hear this is annoying to do? Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks.

You mean OSX? Are you making a hackintosh?

why did you buy a prebuilt from one of the worst prebuilt companies on the net

 

and if you want a hackintosh..you can't really just buy anything and throw osx on it

If you need remote help fixing something on your computer

I can help over Teamviewer if you wish

just msg me on my profile

im affraid installing mac os on a non apple pc is illegal, but it can be done

what it sounds like your doing is a hackintosh

 

im not going to tell you how to set one up but i can tell you that using iatkos is prob the easiest way of doing it (apart from installing windows and running mac os via virtual box)

not sure why ppl hate on prebuilt or cyberpower so much, was able to choose all my own parts, and got the following for $2000 (minus the monitor)

 

NZXT Source 340 tower, i7-5820K (I know 4790 would've been fine, but got it for basically same price on a sale), Asetek 570LXL 240mm Liquid CPU Cooling System (not so sure about this part), 256gb SSD and 3TB 2ndary drive, 16gb ram (can just get more as I need it), MSI X99S GAMING 7 ATX motherboard, 850W corsair ps, and the GTX 980 with the Dell U2715 monitor which I got at 200 less than amazon's price with the strongarming on the phone with dell which I was proud of. love the thin bezel. XB270HU looks great obviously, but more expensive for me right now and I just couldnt get past the aesthetics of it so will get 1-2 more monitors later maybe.
