Yes, a clean install is obviously the simplest procedure in terms of getting that system set up. Are there any preparations you would suggest on that end?

Would you say clover makes sure that this critical part is covered?Īlso, I have a mild hope that if I was to break some MBR, some windows recovery would be able to fix it. I'd want to be sure that an OSX (or Linux Mint) install wont yield a broken bootloader, so that I will - in any case - be able to boot Windows again. With today's boot times, if I had a way to actively hit a key to ever see a bootloader menu that would be fine, so long as I have a chance to switch form one to the other. Would that empty space have to be formatted for either OS (OSX / Linux) before I run their installers?Īlso, I am taking that UEFI is optional, not generally required, so OSX does not actually require an EFI partition should the drive we're installing it on not provide any, i.e. Ok, so what I take from your answer is that if I manage to successfully upgrade my SSD as explained here while leaving just enough empty space on the new, bigger C drive for an OSX (and a Linux) partition, I should be able to install OSX onto that.
