Windows and Mac

ColdDigital · August 21, 2015

Hey,

I finished building my gaming pc recently running Windows 7. Originally I was a Mac user and switched over to a pc now. I wanted to install Mac on my PC seperately similarly how Bootcamp works on the mac, just the mac playing as windows and instead of wanting to install windows I am installing Mac. Basically just flipping it... I already have Windows 7 installed and was wondering if I could use the hard drive from the mac, install macintosh on it and put it in the pc. Basically having 2 hard drives one with windows and one with mac. Would this be possible? The original mac hard drive was replaced by an SSD meaning I had no use for it other than putting it in my pc with macintosh on it. I have a macbook pro mid 2012, if this is useful info.

Thanks

I believe you can dual-boot but I'm also pretty sure you would've needed to install OS X first.

Lots of pain ahead!

This will not be easy, and it will be a nightmare if you are not running Intel. Google 'hackintosh'.
