Hello all!
First time hackintosher/poster. Long time mac user, unfamiliar with all things Windows.
I'm trying to absorb the guide for Sierra and I have a question about hard drive stuff.
Specs:
HP 8300 Elite SFF
i7 3770
Geforce Gt 710
Windows 10
My HP 8300's only drive is an SSD running Windows that I'd like to use as my sole drive, running OSX only. I'm unclear on the order of the steps to format the drive and upgrade BIOS. I was planning on trying to reformat the drive using Disk Utility (although if no one has had success, I'd go with the other options in the guide I guess).
Do I reformat the drive first, and then flash BIOS? Or does wiping the drive mess up the BIOS steps?
EDIT: Perhaps it's later, when installing Sierra, that I would attempt reformating the drive?
Thanks for any advice! Excited to get started.
