Hi,
I've been searching this site for some time now and I'm decided to build a hackintosh following the Mac mini "deluxe" version with some different components:
- Cooler Master Elite 130 case (mini itX)
- Sapphire radeon R9 270X (I think its compatible )
- Intel i5 4570s (same sochet as the K version)
- Gygabite GA-Z87N-WIFI board
- same ram
- same other components
- some Sata hdd's I have lying around (1 TB, 2Tb ..) and will install an ssd later
As I'm a casual gamer well maybe more ... And on Osx there are some games but blockbusters are not as widespread as on windows (eg: Battlefield, gta's ... etc ..) so I wish to dual boot it with windows 7 or 8(.1) I don't mind so you'll probably ask me why not just have windows ? Well I've never had a windows pc and when I compare the Os to Apple's it just is nothing , apps don't talk to each other, nothing near the same quality wise and there is about the same amount of support for each platform !
So getting back to the subject I would like to "dualboot" if that's the term... I gathered I need to install a partition with Osx on one side and Windows on the other (How do I do this ?!?) and to get between each other is the only way to restart the pc , enter the bios and select a different partition ?
Thanks
