If you boot Win10 straight from UEFI, settings in Clover will have no effect on the Win10 boot or operation.Hey everyone, this guide seems like a fairly straightforward method for achieving a Windows boot from Clover.
I have a very stable dual boot configuration with Windows 10 and Sierra 10.12.4. I told BIOS to start Windows by default and if I want to go to Mac I just have to press F12 (at boot) and select the OSX drive, which starts Clover. Aside from the OSX partitions (the OS one and Recovery), Clover is showing all three of my Windows drives (the SSD with the OS and two partitions on the same HDD with non-OS files), but selecting either one of those just hangs (selecting the OSX one works, obviously).
My question is related to my i7-7700 processor which is spoofed as a i7-6700 using the FakeCPUID method: after following the steps in the guide (which I haven't yet) will Clover try to boot Windows 10 with the processor showing as Skylake instead of Kaby Lake and, if so, will it boot? Thanks.
P.S.: I don't really want to be the lab rat with this one, since everything else is working flawlessly and the benefits are minimal.
If you are using FakeCPUID, I would not boot Win10 via Clover.
