Hi Been away for a while. My system has been stable for a few years now with zero problems and is still quite fast for it's age. I have not updated past OS X 10.11.6 EL Capitan (scared to). Just lately my system fans (3) have been ramping up in speed as if the case is getting hot inside then...

Board: MSI P35 Neo2 Chipset: Intel P35 CPU: Intel quad core, socket 775 Graphics: Nvidia 8800 GTX The board does not have a UEFI BIOS. Should I be able to install El Cap with Clover in legacy mode? I've searched but I can't find anybody who has installed El Cap on this hardware.

I've got a fully functional El Capitan installation running but I would like the option of Windows 10 as well. I run el cap from an SSD but I also have a 1tb HDD in the machine so I will use that to install Win 10. I have downloaded Win 10 64bit from Ms and used 'Rufus' to create a bootable...
