I have a Hackintosh built already, running with two OS drives (SSD for 10.8.2, HDD for Windows 7), and it's currently using Chimera as a boot picker and MultiBeast was used to set it up. I've already had problems getting it to update to 10.8.5 (just won't boot after), so I've been sitting on 10.8.2 as long as possible.
New video card is now needed, so I'm installing a GTX 960 4GB to replace my old GTX 260 512MB. This is on a Gigabyte Z77 UP5 TH board, which other than the 10.8.5 update has been rock solid.
I'm going to take the plunge and upgrade to 10.10.4. My thought is that it's time to start clean, so I'll use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the SSD 10.8 install to a spare HDD (USB3 connected), then flush the SSD and install 10.10 fresh.
However, I'm certain this is going to screw up my ability to dual-boot to the other drive running Win 7. I don't want to upgrade that to 8 or 10 any time soon.
When installing 10.10, then, do I want to make the jump to Clover? From what I can tell, the GTX 960 shouldn't have any problems when using MultiBeast. Clover was never an option when I first built my Hackintosh a few years ago, so I'm a little lost on this.
I don't want to auto-boot to Windows, I'd rather have a picker like Chimera is set up now, where it defaults in 10 seconds to booting to OS X, or I can hit a hit and force it to Windows (again, on a seperate HDD).
Thanks for any insight.
