My time machine back up is from around the end of 2016 and is either El Capitan or Sierra with the latter the most likely. I've recently brought a new PC (Specs at bottom) and I'm looking to run to it as a duel boot with windows 10 and OS X.
I have two hard drives in the computer one's a SSD the other is HDD. I've partitioned the SSD in to two, one section has windows 10 the other is empty. The HDD is being used for file storage but I'm pretty sure all my programs are saved to the SSD.
What I want to do is load the OSX on to the blank section of the SSD and put all the files on to the HDD acessable by both operating systems.
I've a feeling my best plan of action would be to move windows 10 files back over to SSD and use the HDD to recover the time machine on as there is around 500gb in total with all apps and files, maybe more I had a 1TB HDD in my mac.
If that is the case I'd like to install a second identical SSD into the PC to move the OSX and its apps to the second and have the HDD just for files accessable by both. However I want to recover everything now and if its possible to put another SSD in it won't be for a few weeks.
I'd really appriciate and advise as to what the best way do this is and wish to keep installing OSX and then recovering from time machine as a last resort.
