Set up OSX (Sierra) and Dualboot Windows 10 on two separate drives
Hi guys, I was wondering if I could install MacOS Sierra on a Windows 10 Desktop PC, I have W10 on an SSD (850 EVO 500 GB) and I would like to install MacOS Sierra on my 840 EVO 500 GB and to have the option to dualboot between both after the UEFI BIOS screen, I have a Macbook to legaly download all the stuff I need (which I don't know). My desktop Specs: i7 4790K @ 4.8 GHz 32 GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX Fury 1600 MHz CL10 Gigabyte Z97X-Gamging 3 Motherboard GTX 1070 G1 Gaming W10 Drive: Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500GB The main reason I would like to do this is to decode H.265 files (no playback) because I can only use the decoder of the GTX 1070 to decode them during playback, but for example if I use any software (dvd fab, premiere pro, media encoder etc) and take a H.265 file and Output it into a H.265 file the decoder will not work, it's not NVIDIA, it's Windows 10 (tried on 7 and 8 and it worked fine but I would like to have OSX for a change along Windows). If I get a H.265 file and output it into a H.264 the decoder also doesn't work but at least the CPU H.264 decoder works and takes 15 minutes, but from H.265 to H.265 (Compressing Bitrate) it takes at least about 4 hours (and it's a 4790K Overclocked to 4.8 GHz) So I would like to know if the HEVC H.265 decoder is supported on OSX El capitan or MacOS Sierra because otherwise my whole process would be useless and I'm well served installing Windows 8.1 and using it when I have to Decode and Encode H.265. Thank you in advance, I know it's not an easy thread to answer and I know the complexity of what I'm asking.
Unlikely, they haven't released support for 1xx GPUs yet. Still, dual booting is possible.
You don’t need any special software beyond your motherboard and BIOS handling the setup. For OSX, you won’t have to modify BIOS settings—just ensure your hardware supports it. The video example shows it’s possible with certain configurations, but compatibility depends on your specific components. Let me know if you need more details!
