- Dual Booting with Mac OS (yes, you can keep MacOS!) I am writing this assuming that you want to keep Mac OS X on your hard drive and that you wish to dual-boot it at any time. You should have plenty of free space on your disk drive (the more the better), so either delete some cruft or move some of your old data onto a separate external archive.
- Set the format to APFS (macOS High Serria and Mojave) or Mac OS Extended (journaled) for OS X 10.12 and below. After that, click the Erase button to start the partition process. Step 6: The next thing is to merge the EFI folders from Windows EFI boot drive and the USB installer, and for this, you can use an EFI mounter like Clover Configurator.
- Select 'Mac OS X' from the tabs at the top. From the platform drop-down list, select 'Generic x86 Hardware' If you wish to change the name from the default 'NST Mac OS X,' you may do so now. Select 'Auto-configure Mac Settings' and then hit 'Add Entry' to finish up.

A dual boot Windows PC containing Windows 10 and macOS is not that hard to create. Fondly called a Hackintosh, such a setup allows you to enjoy the best of both operating systems on a single computer, hence the phrase dual boot. One of the biggest reasons that people want to create Hackintoshes is that they have the freedom to choose from two different desktop app sources. On a dual boot, you can enjoy popular Windows applications from the Microsoft Store as well as the best nuggets from the Mac App Store - all on a single computer.
The easiest way to do this is to get a Windows 10 PC and then partition the drive so you can install macOS on that partition. Each OS requires its own partition or its own drive. In this article, we'll show you how to create a partition and install the Mac operating system alongside the existing copy of Windows 10 on your PC.
Currently this tutorial is applied to macOS Mojave and High Serria, Mac OS X Serria, EI Capitan and Yosemite

Preparations before Making a Dual Bootable (Win 10 & macOS) PC
There are a few things to keep in mind at this point. First, you don't need a secondary drive to do this. The shared drive method of dual booting will work just fine as long as you have enough space on the disk for an additional partition for your copy of macOS.
The second requirement is that the disk needS to be already partitioned as GUID Partition Table, or GPT. Otherwise, you will need to first delete Windows, install macOS after formatting the disk, and then install Windows 10 at the end. The reason Windows 10 comes last is that certain errors might occur if you try installing Windows first.
P.S if the current OS is not Windows 10, then you have to create a bootable Windows 10 USB and install it on the computer first.
Third, you will need to create a macOS USB installer before attempting the dual boot. You can do this on a Mac by getting the installation files via the App Store and then burning the DMG file inside to a USB drive using Disk Utility app.
Dual Boot Windows 10 and Mac OS on PC without Erasing Windows
To start off, you will need a disk partition utility to help you allocate the required space. A free tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition is more than adequate. Once you have the software, follow the steps shown below.
Step 1: Launch MiniTool Partition Wizard and look for the EFI system partition. If not EFI partion found, then create a new partition with GPT.
Step 2: If the EFI partition is less than 200MB, you will need to expand it by taking space from the partition before or after it. This is usually the case when the disk is formatted for Windows, which only allocates 100MB for the EFI partition. You can right-click on the partition to resize it.
Step 3: Now right-click on the new partition and select Split to create a new partition for the macOS installation. The size can be specified on this page. Click OK to apply the changes.
Step 4: The next step is to format this partition. To do this, right-click on the macOS partition and select Format. Set the file system to FAT32 and confirm by clicking OK.
Step 5: You will now need to boot your PC from the macOS USB installer. In Windows, you can do this by hitting the F2 during the startup process. This takes you to the BIOS Setup Utility, where you can change the boot priority so the computer boots from your macOS USB installer instead of the existing Windows files. Once the PC boots up from the installer, open Disk Utility from Applications >Utilities. Select the partition inside Disk Utility and hit Erase. Set the format to APFS (macOS High Serria and Mojave) or Mac OS Extended (journaled) for OS X 10.12 and below. After that, click the Erase button to start the partition process.
Step 6: The next thing is to merge the EFI folders from Windows EFI boot drive and the USB installer, and for this, you can use an EFI mounter like Clover Configurator. The purpose of this step is so that your macOS can boot from the partition instead of from the USB installer.
Step 7: Restart Windows 10 PC and boot from macOS install USB. Follow the prompt to start the macOS installation process.
Step 8: There's still one more step required to make sure the dual-booting works, and that is to modify one single file so that both partitions are visible as boot sources. This is important because, otherwise, you will have to boot to macOS from the installer each time, which is a complex and unnecessary task. The steps in the image below show you how it's done:
Step 9 : The final step, which is optional, will make your computer boot into Clover instead of Windows. This allows you to choose which OS to boot into, and it's a very convenient thing to set up. You can also do this when your drive name fails to show up despite following Step 6. See the steps shown in the image below.
The process is now complete. When you restart your PC, you will see two boot options in the Clover interface - one for Windows and one for macOS. Select the OS you want to work on and resume the boot process. You will need to restart to access the other OS, which is a minor inconvenience, but that's a trade-off you're going to have to be willing to make if you want a dual boot computer with both Windows 10 and macOS.
Another way is to use separate drives so each OS has its own drive and own EFI system partition. This can be done when your original Windows drive is not formatted for GPT. If it is, then you can follow the steps described in this article to do a dual-boot on a shared drive.

Dual-Booting Mac OS X and Windows Vista/7/8
Adding a pre-existing OS X installation to the Windows Vista+ bootloader is a very easy and straightforward process with EasyBCD. There are two ways to get OS X and Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 working together with the BCD/bootmgr bootloader, depending on the order of installation.
Windows Before OS X
This section covers booting Windows Vista and OS X together via the Windows bootloader assuming that you installed Vista first and now want to install OS X.
NeoSmart Technologies does not provide any instructions whatsoever on getting OS X installed. EasyBCD onlyboots intoOS X, nothing more, nothing less.

- Install OS X to a primary partition on your PC. Assuming you have the legitimate Dev Preview kit with the official OS X x86 DVD, just stick it in the drive and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Once OS X has finished installing, the Darwin bootloader should load up OS X for the first time. It should give you an 'Other' option to boot into Windows Vista.
- Select 'Other' and start Windows Vista.
- Fire-up EasyBCD, and go to the 'Bootloader Management' screen.
- Follow the instructions here to re-install the Vista bootloader.
- Read the next section for info on how to add OS X to the Vista bootloader.
OS X Before Windows
First person soar mac os. The most common setup for users looking to get OS running on their PCs involves a pre-existing OS X installation followed by a Windows Vista install. In this case, the computer boots into the Windows Vista bootloader, and does not have an option to boot into OS X.
- Fire-up EasyBCD, and navigate to the 'Add/Remove Entries' screen.
- Select 'Mac OS X' from the tabs at the top.
- From the platform drop-down list, select 'Generic x86 Hardware'
- If you wish to change the name from the default 'NST Mac OS X,' you may do so now.
- Select 'Auto-configure Mac Settings' and then hit 'Add Entry' to finish up.
You can now reboot your PC, and select 'NST Mac OS X' (or whatever you chose to call it) from the Vista bootloader. OS X should begin to boot immediately.
Troubleshooting

- Can you help me install OS X?
No! - The screen turns black and a few seconds later I'm at the Vista boot menu once again.
Press F8 once during the black-screen period. The Mac OS X menu should pop-up and give you the option of booting into OS X. - I get a 'HFS+ Partition Error' when I select OS X from the Vista bootloader… HELP!
EasyBCD 1.6 has a new feature in the Diagnostics Center for dealing with this particularly nasty bug. Fortunately, EasyBCD makes it really easy to deal with it: just select the 'HFS+ Partition Error' repair button, select your OS X drive and partition numbers from the list (drives start counting from 0, partitions start at 1), and hit the repair button!
