Lenovo Y50 and OS X Yosemite 10.10

[deathmetalgore]

Hello everyone,

I have read through a lot of guides to install OS X Yosemite 10.10 on a Lenovo Y50, but neither included an explanation on how to prepare the USB/installation from Windows 8.1.

I am doing this kind of thing for the first time. My laptop runs on Windows 8.1 and I cannot follow any guide out there for Y50 because they only describe how to prepare everything from OS X. I don't also understand what Clover is.

How do I prepare my USB and have a smooth installation of Yosemite straight from Windows 8.1? I want to be able to dual boot between the two systems.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

You need OS X to download Yosemite from the Mac App Store.

That's not an issue. I have it.

Use the same Mac you downloaded Yosemite with to prepare your USB.

Use the same Mac you downloaded Yosemite with to prepare your USB.

That's the real question here... How do I prepare my USB from Windows 8.1?

Use the Mac that you used to download Yosemite in the first place.
