Hey thank you for responding wildwillow, I actually found a work around from another source and all is good. I have even managed to install and dual boot windows 10 as well.

Okay I'll do some research on this... to be honest I will be searching online using the words you have provided (do you have any other terminology to add?), also should I be searching with regards to OS X or windows?

I tried this and disabled 'Windows services' after following the path you gave me. Unfortunately this has not changed anything. Is there maybe something to do with the OS X install? When I am running the Windows SSD does the OS X HDD just sleep and get woken when I use any connected devices...

I have a query concerning dual boot, mine is all good and functioning I just want to ask if it is normal and okay for the drive that is not in use to spin up and run randomly? I have sierra installed on a HDD and windows 10 on an SSD, when using windows the HDD sometimes powers on and runs for...

This worked for me without a problem. Thanks for the straightforward explanation illologist! The only oddities I have are that while booted in windows my OS X HDD will sometimes spin up for a while (randomly). Also there is an extra option in the clover screen to choose but does not boot to...

Looking into that link, thanks Adrian B. It does appear to be well over my head, at least until I get a real chance to go through it slowly and look up all the terminology used.

Well I have learned a bit about PSU's and what Modular refers to.... and that Modular is not just how PSU's are these days. Sent it back and have a new EVGA 600w PSU on the way. Adrian B I know you advise to stay away from the GPU dock, but how about for wifi? Such as...

Okay so I still need to take the mobo out to see if the GPU will fit. I am actually now struggling to find cables that will connect to all the places that old PSU connects to. The 'new' PSU came without cables and is modular so I need to buy 2 cables that go 8 pin to 8 pin (which I have...

So it looks like Powerline is my only option.... that is if the GTX 780 even fits my MOBO. It arrived yesterday and I took a surprised look at how large it is and even though it will never fit into my case it seems like the GPU may not fit due to other parts on the MOBO getting in the way. I...

Thank you toleda you have sorted my issue. All that searching and I missed a simple Finder search. I do still have a lopsided front audio jack however, I will be searching for more info about that, but you totally answered my question on how to 'reset' for consecutive attempts!

Adrian B I have yet another query concerning the wifi, is the onboard wifi card now supported in Sierra? It has not been supported prior to my knowledge and a search in here turns up only old posts from 2012/13. Are there some kexts that allow it to work now? If not, should a usb type wifi...

Thank you for the response toleda, I presume that this is what you are referring to in step A. Uninstall Realtek ALC AppleHDA MultiBeast 8.0+, remove: S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext and install the native AppleHDA.kext or S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Resources/layout1.zml.zlib, layout2.zml.zlib...

I am struggling and get well frustrated and more and more confused about the audio issues with my Sierra install. I have only got audio through the front headphone jack and even then it is only through the right headphone. I have tried several different methods from within this forum but to no...

Is it even possible to skip El Capitan? I wanted to do this but I am unable to even download Sierra and cannot seem to download El Capitan either as it will not show up in the App store. I am currently in Yosemite 10.10.2 do I need to update Yosemite in order to be allowed to download Sierra?

Oh right, well I went with the GTX780 as it is well cheaper and yet from what I have read and discovered both here and on other sites it is reasonably comparable, plus it should suffice for my current needs. Thank you for your advice Adrian B.
