Installing Mac OS Yosemite next to Windows 8.1

[arestopies1]

So i recently got a Yosemite .dmg file from friend's Macbook

But i have only 1 HDD in PC (pic) and i want to dualboot, is it possible to Install Yosemite wihout reinstalling Windows 8.1 ?

 

300GB for Win8.1 and stuff

48GB for Yosemite

111GB for backup

Yeah that can work but you will need to reformat the whole drive to create the correct partitions.

 

Also you can't just install a .DMG.

 

Please list all your specs.

Yeah you can, but for a better and safer experience, I'd get a secondary drive (preferably SSD) and install it on that (I did that, it's easier)

[arestopies1]

Specs:

Mainboard - ASRock H81-DGS R2 (socket - 1150 | Chipset - Intel H81 )

CPU - i3-i4130 (Haswell)

GPU - Palit GTX750 

Sound Card - On board (Realtek ALC662 Audio Codec)

HDD - 500GB WDC WD5000AZRX

PS - LCPower 600W

 

I already have bootable yosemite USB stick

For now i can't afford additional SDD, will HDD (something like 80GB 7200RPM) do ?

Yeah, that will suffice.

 

Ensure it's plugged into SATA port 0 for the bootloader to work in normal operation. Also, unplug your usual HDD during installation just in case.

What about WiFi cards ?

I'm using USB TP-LINK TL-WN422G, it won't work huh ?

No driver for that TP-link card as far as I know.

TransMac 

Looks very doughy. I would recommend using a more popular and well trusted tool like unibeast.

[arestopies1]

As far as i know Unibeast is Mac only, and at the moment i don't have any apple computer around :I

Please quote otherwise I don't know when you respond

Yes it is Mac only but it is way safer to use a tool that is well known over so other software that is not.

So, summing up things I'll have to get Apple computer to make bootable USB

And if i eventually get one there won't be any problems with hardware ? (besides WiFi card ?)

Yeah everything seems compatible, you will need the web drivers for the GTX 750 because it's maxwell.
