In short, I want to run Windows 10 and dual boot into Mac OS X. I’m open to any OS version above 10, but ideally something recent. I’ve tried Mac on VMware—it’s slow and needs updates. I’d like to install OS X on my external HDD first, then move to the internal drive. I want it to run smoothly without lag, especially when launching apps or checking system info. My specs include an Intel i7-6700K, 32GB Vengeance LPX, 16GB RAM, a high-end GPU, and various SSDs. If you can help set this up or confirm compatibility, I really appreciate your support. Thanks!

The area has a strong group of people interested in hackintosh, but it seems we shouldn't talk about it here since it might be considered piracy. I suggest looking at dedicated hackintosh communities like Tymonicx or InsanelyMac.

I wasn't aware of this, I didn't really go through the guidelines, just searching for assistance Wink Thanks for the details, I'm unable to use TonyMac unfortunately—they block anyone seeking help about AMD products sadly ;< I'll try the other option. If I end up seeing this thread removed and getting suspended, I'm not sure what to do. Just need solid support.

I own a machine that works great. Key points to remember: * Avoid installing kexts in /Library unless you're sure; keep them in your Clover folder. If they suggest placing them on the OS drive, it's likely misguided. * Setting up an OS on a HDD is outdated—opt for an SSD instead. * For assistance, check out the Discord link provided in the community guidelines.

I’m preparing a multi-boot setup for Linux, installing the distro with a customizable bootloader. You can navigate through the on-screen options to configure additional OS images. Check the startup and recovery settings, as they should let you select the default boot system and display available choices during boot. This approach differs from Windows, where I’ve used Linux multiboot.
