See http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.htmlHi Guys
Any tips for doing a dual boot 8.1 with Yosemite?
I have two SSD's so would run each OS from it's own disc.
Any hints/tips much appreciated
ML/Mavericks/Yosemite - all work same.
If you install Win8.1 UEFI you will need to use Clover for your boot loader as Chimera/Chameleon can't boot Windows in UEFI - can't see the boot files.

Hi. I would like to do a Yosemite and Windows 10 dual boot; would the instructions be the same for uefi on a clover install of Yosemite?

List what you did and what did/did not work.
Installing OS X and Windows UEFI on separate drives is easiest way if using UEFI booting using Clover boot loader.
Installing OS X/Windows dual boot UEFI with Chimera boot loader results in Windows icons not visible because Chimera cannot boot UEFI Windows installation.

I mean, windows + mountain lion is simple, both are MBR partition
Yosemite must install on GPT partition. Here the fun begins.
I do not have UEFI motherboard. Now I boot from USB but sometimes is stuck,
and I work on a solution to make simple bootloader with just two options:
OS X Yosemite and Windows 8.1. (I prefer to use Windows bootloader first)
