Dual Boot a Hackintosh on One Drive (OpenCore)

[@joemarlabitan2624]

Years ago I watched this video to dual boot my hackintosh. Today, I watched it again to do the same thing. Very detailed and straight to the point tutorial ❤❤❤

This is the technical information I am looking for. Even enjoying KZbin a lot more with videos like yours. Thumbs up! Keep the spirit it is very helpful.

[@martijnvandenboom]

As I have tried to install Windows dual boot the way you have explained, I would also like to add that I managed to install the dual boot configuration through the path of the original macOS High Sierra and Bootcamp with Windows 7. And then upgrade both the OSes, macOS to Monterey and Windows to 11. This way it gives me a different configuration at partition level. Am not sure which of these methods will be most durable but at least you will have an alternative.

[@MichaelMossmanNZ]

Thank you Brandon for your brief yet concise tutorial ... very helpful =)

[@oleoletus]

thank you so much! it was very easy to do and worked at the first try. You won a new sub :)

[@mertkanusta8903]

Excellent tutorial! This tutorial also works for unsupported MBPs with OCLP. After installation of Windows is completed and after installing BootCamp drivers to Windows 10, if you have a Unibody MBP between 2009-2012 model, don't restart your MacBook after the BootCamp setup is finished and don't forget to replace existing MacHALDriver.sys at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ to the one for BootCamp 6.1 afterwards, before in-place upgrade to Windows 11, so you won't have a bricked Windows partition (especially if you have installed the Pro version).

[@MrAnothaBrotha]

i really enjoyed your "macOS Big Sur Hackintosh Guide - No macOS Required!" video but now i am seriously concerened. Please take care not hurting yourself whilst performing such brutal steps in the development of your video productions! Beside this one also being good structured your balanced demeanor definitely results in conveying your content a lot better. (>Öö)> … baffled^ Don’t worry about my swollen manner of speaking… in my mother tongue it ain’t less weird =D

[@plica06]

Any chance of re-doing this video to show a triple boot macOS + Win 10 + Linux OS all on the same disc? Or maybe do a blog post instead? So much contradictory information out there, really confusing. btw I can't get in to discord.. won't recognise my login details!

[@plica06]

I got it working... Windows 10/Manjaro/macOS booting off one drive. I used Macrium Reflect Free to clone a Windows10/Manjaro dual boot installation I already had on another drive and while doing this I increased the size of the cloned Windows 10/Manjaro EFI partition to about 500MB (maybe 200-300MB is enough). This new cloned drive is 1TB so there is plenty of space still for macOS. I booted in to Manjaro and used GParted to create a few more partitions after the Windows 10/Manjaro partitions. After this I booted into macOS recovery from an Opencore USB installer I had. From Disk Utility I cloned a working macOS installation I had on yet another drive into the next partition that came after the Manjaro partition. It would take too long to explain all the details but after that basically I copied the Opencore EFI folder in to the 1TB cloned drives EFI partition. I then set up Grub to give a menu with all 3 OSs. Grub boots Windows and Manjaro and chain loads Opencore to boot macOS. You only need one EFI partition.

[@kvadratyk]

not working. getting errors about unexisting boot manager

[@SnowySteki]

Why does Dortania guide recommend only ONE EFI partition per disk?

[@yezzermz]

Thanks for this, one thing I did notice was that when restarting through windows the "automatic repair" screen appears and fails to load windows. Have to boot through bios -> windows boot manager. Only happens when restarting that I can tell, regular shut downs seems to work though. I'm guessing this is some kind of conflict with opencore?

[@shouryaparashar6920]

Yes it a problem, I noticed this on my other linux dualboots as well maybe windows updates are breaking it.

[@Matt-hy7dw]

Keep up the good work Brandon

[@sebastianzdybiowski2369]

This video is probably outdated, but I tried it and just ended up with windows immediately blue screening with ACPI Bios Error. Any idea why? I'm trying to dual boot macos Mojave and windows 11 22H2

nop. did it 2 times already with windows 11 22h2 that i even modified into tiny11 using tiny11 creator. still works like a charm

[@misraaditya9213]

According to the Dortania guide, my dGPU (1650TI) won't be supported on macOS. If I want to configure a dual boot with Windows and Monterey as explained here, how do I disable it only for macOS?

[@rivciks5045]

Won't the Windows updates mess up with the whole EFI partition und make OpenCore unbootable?

[@AlexFigas]

The video is very good and does work but keep in mind that this way windows still creates a EFI partition (he thinks he is the only OS in the world)

why is my opencore not booting to Mac? its only going straight to windows

Thank you! I followed this tutorial, but on opencore there is no windows, i only can boot to windows using f11 then choose boot number 2. How can i fix it?

When I press Shift F10 nothing happens. There is no shell. 😢 Any idea why? Edit: it did however work with an external usb keyboard. My laptop's keyboard isn't broken or damaged or something. Why does it work only with external keyboard?! Very very strange

Do you also need to do this when installing windows on a different disk?

[@Yeasir.AraFath]

Great video

[@theacademyisntt]

The windows install worked like a charm. I used balena etcher on my Hackintosh initially and got a load disk error so ended up using a family member's windows laptop to create the bootable usb with Windows Media Creation Tool. Now my big issue is that my wifi adapter isn't recognized by Windows so I can't do anything. Any idea how this can be fixed?

[@비트러브-c3o]

Windows usb made with rufus works fine too. If i select windows boot manager in the bios boot device, i can see that it boots into windows. After booting by selecting UEFI OS from the BIOS boot device, when the Open core boot menu appears, if I select windows, there is no response. Of course, when mac os is selected from this menu, hackintosh boots well. Is there any way to boot into Windows from this menu?

[@ahadkabirsiddique]

If I install windows dual boot with macOS can I update windows and macOS without any worries?

[@TheQuangBang]

Is this still valid and the best way to do it? Also, would it work for Windows 11 as well, or ist it possible that one might run into some problems (e.g. due to Secure Boot or TPM etc.)?

[@a-miel]

you won't run into some problems if you use ventoy or the built in options for the latest rufus granted that you won't be able to run apps and games that requires tpm on hardware level.

[@IIyrAJIo]

That’s an awesome video you made!!! If I got this right, and if to follow this guide - is open core going to inject acpi patch aml’s or going to keep genuine hardware tables ?

OpenCore will not touch Windows and vice versa.
