Not open for further replies.
Thing is I would like to keep my Win 10 and create a partition on the same ssd drive for Sierra.
Or is it better to install on a separate harddrive?
How do I make sure that both win 10 and sierra turns up in the boot?
Im looking at https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/mavericks-windows-8-on-same-drive-without-erasing.133940/
Or is there any better tutorials?

Okay, so I think I understand how to create the USB with Clover.
Im using this tutorial: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
I know it is for El capitan but I cannot find another thorough tutorial for sierra. Is it good to use or should I use another?
Then Clover 3773 with Fakesmc kext and config.plist of el capitan (which one of these is for w520 https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config ?) and DSDT for quadro 2000m (cannot find it on the web, please help!).

What else do you use? If you don't mind me asking.

Im on Lenovo thinkpad w520 quadro 2000m 1920x1080, 8gb ram, i7 2760QM cpu 2.4ghz, intel mobile express chipset

Not just for El Capitan. You should actually read it (such that you find instructions for Sierra and others...0
 
I should use the newest Clover right, not the 3773?
 
Im trying to install sierra from usb with clover 4035 refi. First I will try to install sierra on a second HDD on the same laptop and try to make it work so i dont mess up anything up on the win 10 ssd. After I want to try having both win 10 and sierra on the ssd.

Im using this tutorial: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Do I choose boot0ss or boot0af for my first try with sierra on the secondary HDD?
And afterwards, when having both win 10 and sierra on the same ssd, what do I choose?

Thanks in advance
