Designare Z390 I9900K Vega64 Dualboot Question

Hello friends,

I have successfully build my hackintosh with the following components:

  • Gigabyte Designare Z390
  • Intel I9900K
  • 2 x 16GB G-Skill RAM
  • Asus Vega 64 OC
  • Bluetooth/WiFi Card from a MacBook Air
  • Clover Bootloader
  • 500GB NVMe (Catalina)
  • 1TB Samsung SSD (User folder)

Initially I stumbled over the guides on TonyMacX86 and followed the pretty good guide for the Designare.

Later I discovered this subreddit and reinstalled everything with the vanilla guide and for the first time understood what I was actually doing. Thanks!

Mojave was the latest OS Version to the time of building my hackintosh. Now I have updated Clover and am running the latest Catalina Update without problems.

I tried to install windows on the same NVMe Drive as Catalina and failed (due to Mac encryption I think). I have also tried to partition the Samsung SSD and install windows there and also failed.

Then I read that I have to install windows prior to MacOS.

So when I have to reinstall everything, I have two questions:

  • must I Install Windows on a separate Drive exclusively for Windows and after that Linux and Mac OS for a triple boot? So one separate drive for each OS?
  • Should I try OpenCore instead of Clover?

Thank you and happy holidays!
