If you do not have a Mac or borrow then create a virtual machine running macOS using one of the two links below depending on whether you are using Intel or AMD as your CPU/Processor.
To create a macOS flash drive installer you will first need either a.
#Ntfs sierra install#
You could install Windows before macOS if you really wanted to, but for this guide it makes sense to install macOS first and then Windows second as we already have to be in the macOS installer to format as GUID and don’t have to move anything around in the EFI with Windows installed after macOS. The reason you would want to do it during the install is if you wanted to have the Windows partition show up as first and the macOS partition as second, however personally I prefer having macOS first and Windows second as my hackintosh is reliable enough that I use macOS almost exclusively.įor Dual-Booting the only requirement is that the SSD/HDD be first formatted as GUID.
We can either make the Windows partition during the install or after the install. The drive should to be formatted first in macOS Disk Utility as the GUID format is required to install macOS and doing it with Disk Utility will also create a larger 200MB hidden EFI partition, which is larger than what is created with Windows Disk Management (100MB) and will therefore be able to fit both the macOS and Windows EFI files as well as leave some extra room left over. Disk Utility is an application in macOS that is basically the equivalent of Disk Management in Windows and can be accessed in the same way Disk Management is either during the install or in the operating system after installation is completed. We will first need to format the drive as GUID using Disk Utility. For those of you not familiar with dual-booting or a macOS hackintoshing.
