Last builds of Windows 10 UEFI USB installers seem more and more touchy about partitions order/size of target drive.
After many many tries, i successfully installed W10 and Sierra on same drive.
You need:
- 1 USB key with UEFI Windows 10 Installer (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/make-a-windows-10-uefi-usb-installer.228959/)
- 1 USB key with Sierra Installer (https://www.tonymacx86.com/resources/unibeast-7-1-1.333/ )
- BIOS must be in UEFI boot mode
- disconnect all other internal/external drives
- boot Windows installer (UEFI) USB
- Shift+F10 for recovery command line
- type: diskpart
- type: list disk
- type: select disk 0 (the target single drive)
- type: clean (you'll loose all data !)
- type: convert gpt
- type: create part msr size=200 (windows 10 doesn’t like EFI partition at first, so I choose MSR)
- type: exit
- install windows 10 on unallocated free space
- once installed, in windows 10 disk manager,
- shrink main NTFS partition as you want (e.g. half the space)
- create new partition on free space just created and format (eg.exFAT format)
- reboot with Sierra USB (Unibeast) installer
- go to Apple Disk Utility (menu)
- reformat exFAT partition with HFS+j
- install Sierra
- that's all
