So I built my Hackintosh about five years ago, and I remember very little about the work I put into it. It has functioned just fine for the past five years, but it is time for me to upgrade to Windows 10. (I currently can't upgrade past High Sierria on the OS X side due to the nVidia 1070 in use, but I am now being handicapped by running Windows 7.) My hardware should be perfectly compatible with Windows 10. Hardware isn't a concern. [Edit: I wanted to upgrade to Win 11. But Win 10 seems like it might be the only option.]
Here is a link to the original build:
Windows 7 currently lives on its own Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD.
OS X High Sierra currently lives on its own Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD.
Unibeast and Multibeast were used for the setup, and Clover Bootloader is currently used to select how to boot into each. So, e.g., to boot into Windows 7, I manually select "Boot Microsoft EFI from EFI". OS X is the default boot option that Clover will use if I don't manually override.
I am hoping there is an easy method of updating Windows 7 to Windows 10 without effing up the bootloader process. Bonus points if the process isn't expensive and doesn't require purchasing Windows 10! (My Windows 7 license is legit.) Might anyone please be able to advise?
