dual boot os x el capitan on a pc already running windows 10

[SnoLuvr]

I finally have El Capitan working

New issue... I cannot boot Windows and it is on a separate drive from EL Capitan.

Computer boots to Clover and then boots to El Capitan. How can I boot from the other drive that contains Windows?

If I choose hotkey, F12 from start up and select the drive that Windows is on I get Error.

Didi you install Clover UEFI or Legacy Mode? Is Windows installed UEFI or Legacy Mode?

 

[SnoLuvr]

Legacy Mode per your instructions. I think it is UEFI... Not sure

Can anyone help me?

Perhaps my response was confusing....

I installed Clover Legacy Mode on a separate SSD and do not know which mode Windows was installed. The Windows SSD drive and my 1TB Data hard drive were installed prior to using the Clover Legacy setup.

I hope this helps clear up the issue I am having.

if you run msinfo32 in windows, it will tell you next to BIOS Mode whether windows is efi or not

I cannot boot to the drive that has windows on it and that is my issue.

When I boot the computer.... it boots to Clover.

Here are the Icons that appear and what each will do...

Internal - Boot Clover from EFI - Have not tried this
Internal - Boot Clover from EFI - Have not tried this
NTFS - Boot Windows from Legacy HD1 -I get ERROR if I select this
NTFS - Boot Windows from Legacy HD2 -I get ERROR if I select this
HFS - Boot MAC OS X From El Capitan - Boots to El Capitan
Recovery - Boot from Recovery HD - Have not tried this
HFS - Boot MAC OS X From El Capitan - Boots to El Capitan
Recovery - Boot from Recovery HD - Have not tried this

I hope this helps.

Power up and during POST hit F12. At the selection screen select hard drives->then select your Windows drive.
Does it boot?

No, it did not.

However, I did discover that in El Capitan, under devices I can see the 1TB drive that has my files on it. I can open and read the data on it. However I cannot write to it. What can I do to allow me to read and write to it?

My plan is to use OS X full time and abandon WIN 10 completely. Should I leave every thing the way it is or do I need to do some clean up?

I also plan on converting the other PC I built two months ago using the TonyMac86 Build Hardware suggestions to OS X. Currently it is running WIN 10 only.... Can I take the Windows SSD I have in this PC and install it in the one I built two months ago and install OS X on it? If I can, do I use the OS X Boot Flash Drive I created and use UEFI or Legacy?

Here is what that build consists of:

895144 TOSHIBA 1TB P300 3.5" HDD
658765 CRUCIAL 16GB 2X8 D4 2400 SPLT CL1
804831 INTEL BOX INTEL CORE I5-6500
553792 SAMSUNG E 500GB 850 EVO SSD
976076 CORSAIR CXM 650W 80+B SM PSU
092429 ALPHA OME 18" SATA RIGHT ANGLE RED
090761 IPSG LG 16X SATA BD BURNER
820605 GIGABYTE GA-Z170-HD3 LGA1151 ATX
719427 CORSAIR SPEC02 REDSHIFT ATX CASE
Windows 10 64bit OS Software


Thank you for all of your help!

Do you have a Windows folder in your EFI folder on your EFI partition? You did install Clover UEFI mode, yes?
