Hola. I was wondering if an idea of mine is possible. So I have a 500 GB HD in my computer right now, and I have a 120 gb SSD in my desk. I want to build a Hackintosh, and was wondering if I could take out the HD and slap in the SSD and put El Capitan on the SSD. By doing this, if I mess up with the Hackintosh, could I take out the SSD give it an exorcism and put windows on there and forget it ever happened?

Yes. Provided, of course, that your hardware in your computer is compatible with OS X. If not compatible, there are apps you can use to clone your existing HDD to an SSD if you want to go that route with the Windows HDD.

Ok. Cool. Now, I have have an AMD 7700 series GPU. Just enough for my two monitors. Anyway, I cant find a driver for it that works with Mac. What should I do?

im still pretty new here but i think you can leave both drives in the computer and if you have a decent bios you can just disable either one in a bios profile setting so you can flip flop between OS without opening the case. This is the route ill be going for Win 10 PRO and El Capitan.
