Hello everyone,

I'm (almost) a complete newbie to this osx installing, and I was wondering if my pre-built pc could be used for dual booting with Windows 8.1.

My motherboard is Medion MS-7848
Chipset Intel Haswell
CPU Intel Core i5 4570
Graphics nVidia GeForce GTX 760 (192 bit).

I don't know if I forgot anything important, if so, let me know!


Thanks in advance,

Lissyah.

This board looks as if it may have been produced by Medion by MSI, There is this link that suggests that the BIOS is American Megatrends Inc. at least on this board version anyway:

As you have probably got a pre -installed Windows 8,1 installation running I would propose looking at Clover as your boot loader and use a separate SSD/HDD to install Yosemite on.

Here are some links that may be relevant for your installation:

If you prefer to give Chimera/Chameleon a try using UniBeast and MultiBeast then read up on how to use this with Windows:
