So here's an update of my evening with my lovely computer. I spent over 5 hours tonight trying to do the simplest things but once again I didn't accomplish anything.
1.) I created a new Unibeast USB installer like you told me and changed some things in the Bios (things I read about online) and it worked! I was able to do a clean install of my system. I erased everything and installed Sierra again. I then ran Multibeast with settings from Tonymacx86 himself. So the Apple side of things is up and running (Without the NVIDIA web drivers).
2.) I'm going to use my computer mainly for audio recording and editing and that's the reason I bought the Gigabyte Designare motherboard because it has 2x USB-C ports that can be enabled as Thunderbolt 3 via update from Gigabyte (I have a thunderbolt audio interface). So with that in mind I thought that it would make most sense to update my motherboard/bios and then apply the Thunderbolt 3 upgrade and the only way to do that is via Windows. There I can download some Gigabyte software that does everything for me. So the next 4 hours went into trying to get a dual boot system up and running and it failed big time.
I basically have no clue what I'm doing and I just tried to follow some guides from some websites (some of the instructions are from here). I registered myself over at Windows and downloaded a Windows 10 trial (for 90 days).
a.) I then followed Tonymacx86 advice and used Boot Camp Assist to load the ISO to my USB dongle. I then opened up the Bios and booted from that USB dongle and the Windows 10 installation progress started for about 10 sec then I got this message:
'' A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB, or Hard disk driver. ''
I looked online for a solution, formated my HDD (Where I'm going to install Windows) to Fat-32, to Mac Journaled but it never showed up in the install progress and I always just got this error message.
b.) I then found instructions from ''n3oNLit3'' here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...windows-10-usb-in-os-x-using-terminal.172458/.. I followed all the steps and it worked perfectly but when I tried booting from the USB dongle this time all i got was ''Reboot and Select Proper Device''. I looked online for solutions so I tried changing my hard drive boot order and put my HDD as Boot nr 1 but that didn't do anything.
So what am I doing wrong? What format should my HDD be in when ''expecting'' a Windows 10 install on it? Fat-32? Mac-format? Both? Do I need to change some BIOS settings in order for the Windows 10 install to go through? Legacy boot? Im just not getting this.
and one special question at the end.. Everytime I restart my computer/turn it on and boot OSX another instance of my OSX SSD drive shows up in the BIOS as ''boot drive''. I had 1 instance of my SSD showing up in the BIOS when I was finished with the clean install but as I'm going to sleep now I have 9 instances. This can't be normal. What's up with all this?
