Hi there, although not a novice PC and Mac user I've been looking at the Forums here and have had plenty of questions answered without posting, thank you.

So I decided to build Hachintosh with 1 x SSD for OSX and 1 x SSD for Win 10, this seems to be the less hassle approach.

So when I get to finish my build, I install OSX using the forum guides, then disconnect SSD 1, connect SSD 2 and install Windows 10? Am I correct so far?

Then when I then connect both SSDs should I then simply use the boot option key ( maybe F10. F12 etc) to select which OS to boot? Or does this "Clover" pop up as a boot menu similar to Bootcamp?

Also I have a 3rd Drive for mass storage, what should I format this drive to be so that both windows and OS X can both read and write to this drive, and will setting it this way have any significant performance downfalls in either OS?

Many thanks in advance for anyone who could help.
 
For boot purposes you can just have it boot to your OS X drive and CLOVER will pop up similar to boot camp and give you some options. Then you either select OS X or the appropriate Windows drive. Be warned that there may be multiple windows drives so it might take some playing to figure out which one will actually boot into the system.
 
Hello@richard.
I am exactly like you right now. can you advise me and answer your own question please?
thanks so much

The 'sticky' guides in this forum should help.
