i would go for different drives for the installs atleast, more then that i cant say, i know barely anything about dualbooting in the first place

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Different partitions needed, but MacOS can be a real pain when it comes to hardware compatibility.

I know that other people have used skylake cpu's and 960's for hackintosh

It's often the chipset that's a pain. Do you have 2 partitions on your drive? If so, install MacOS to one of those partitions.
