If you have UEFI boot capability: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...oting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover-uefi.html

If not: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-unibeast.html

You will need to replace the WiFi.

Thanks for the info, I have read your comment. I still have question before I start with the installation. Which bootloader do you suggest me to use for dual booting (clover, chameleon, chimera). Just to mention I have EFI bios not UEFI. Does this guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/89759-beginners-guide-dual-boot-windows-os-x.html is still suitable for dual booting Windows 8.1(10) and Yosemite? Thanks in advance.

CLOVER will support Dual Boot in Legacy setup also. There no exact guide pointing to Clover legacy installation, you have to play with settings. Because i am using CLOVER for dual booting (OS X 10.10.1 and Windows 8) in my both Laptops which having only Legacy BIOS.

EFI BIOS is only present on Apple computers. PCs use UEFI.

Sorry,my mistake.I meant Legacy bios not EFI. So which bootloader is better in your opinion for dual booting?

You can use either. I think if I was stuck with a legacy BIOS, I'd still use Clover (in legacy mode).
