How to dual-boot OS X El Capitan and Windows on a PC
| Guide | Comments | |
 | Two separate hard disks | The easiest and most reliable way to dual-boot Mac OS X and Windows on a Hackintosh is to install the two operating systems on separate hard disks. Any modern version of Windows (preferably Windows 8 or newer) will work. |
 | One single hard disk | If your Hackintosh only has one hard disk, it's still possible to dual-boot Mac OS X and Windows. However, the process is more complicated-- if you already have Windows installed on your hard disk, you will probably have to erase it and start from scratch with this method. Any modern version of Windows (preferably Windows 8 or newer) will work. |
