My first computer build ever. I decided to make a Hackintosh because I've had only macs for the past 10 years, but I wanted something I could game/stream with.
My specs:
Guide I followed: http://hackintosher.com/guides/guide-installing-macos-kabylake-hackintosh-sierra/
MoBo: MSI Z270 Gaming M6 AC
CPU: Intel i7 7700K
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1080
Drives: SanDisk 240GB SSD Hitachi 3TB HDD
Long story, I followed the guide on Tonymacx86. I couldnt get Sierra to work, I figured I needed High Sierra beacause of my CPU. Couldnt get High Sierra to work either. The screen would freeze before the started even loaded.
After a frustrating 2 weeks of palying with settings and chacing after error messages, I found the guide at Hackintosher. It was very straight forward and I was able to install High Sierra.
It worked kinda glitchy and I had to change some of the steps from the guide. I installed windows first, but during the installation I had to: Delete all partitions from the drive. Format it. Hit "new" to let windows make all the partitions its needs. Exit the installer and go on command promp. Run diskpart and make the EFI partition 250 mb. and then resume the installation. When it asks how much space I want to partition, I selected half the ammount, to leave room for macOS.
Then I installed High sierra following the steps on the guide.
After I decided that High Sierra was too glitchy, and webdrivers woudnt work with it, I repeated the steps but with Sierra.
This time the install failed because Sierra needs to be the first partition in the drive, so I had to format and partition with Disk Utility during mac OS installation, and then install Win 10.
The guide at Hackintosher was very straight forward. I didnt have to do anything extra to install Sierra
Tldr: Followed the this guide to the letter and got Sierra and Win10 working in the same drive. EDIT: Format, added Tldr
