Hello Community,
I am working on a school computer so I do not want to mess up especially when its not my money. I have built several PC's before and can usually troubleshoot any problem I come across. When it comes to OSX I am a nub. I have been doing my research and I know sorta what range of parts I have access to and stay away from AMD yada yada. I am worried about the install. I want to do a build with a higher end Haswell i5 and two SSD's; one for each OS. I am also going to have a 1TB HDD for files. I hear that you want your OS's on separate drives and I would do thar anyway I dont like this partitioning stuff I only foresee problems. The motherboard I am easy on, I want to find one that works and has USB 3.0 headers on the board. The rest I care less about. I want to know If I Dual Boot OSX Mavericks and Windows 8.1 what will I encounter. I want to know what to install first and other information that will help me out. Another big question I am having is after I install OSX and Windows how do I switch between OS's? Do I have to restart, go into my UEFI Bios and switch my Sata Mode Selection Every Time? And how do I switch OS's? Do I get an option at startup to pick or what? Sorry If I sound nooby or something I just want to suck as much info into my head as possible.
Thanks for any Help I recieve, Its greatly appreciated and cannot wait to Jump into the Hackintosh World
