Let’s install Linux! OK, so I assume you have your data backed up, as we will be converting the partition table from hybrid MBR to GPT. Our Windows stick is now prepared, keep in mind, that even if it’s the latest version of Windows10 you won’t have speech unless you plug in the external soundcard. Make sure it’s your pendrive, otherwise you will lose your data) clean convert gpt format quick fs=fat32 label=disklabel (where disklabel is the name you want to call your disk) exit exit (to exit diskpart and the main cmd) Then, mount the ISO image of Windows and copy all files from it to the USB stick, and remove bootmgr and bootmgr.efi files from it. So, if you have the Windows image downloaded, enter diskpart Win R cmd diskpart list disk sel disk disknumber (where disknumber is the number shown in the previous command. For burning the Windows image, it is recommended to use diskpart, as some files needs to be removed. I will also skip steps for burning the Linux image, as it is different for each host operating system. You can get it from Windows is easily optainable from Microsoft, so I will skip this step. In this example, I will be using Antergos as the Linux distribution, from the operating systems I have tested, this one has the best Mac support. Let’s download and burn our operating systems! So, if you meet al the requirements, we can start preparing our USB drives with Linux and Windows. *It also helps, if you have a place to back up your data. *An external sound card, (Macs before 2014 don’t support sound in Windows when its installed in EFI mode) *An ethernet connection (only during the installation) *A legal Windows copy, it can be bound to your hardware. Prerequisites *A Mac computer, of course 🙂 *Two pendrives, unless you have a second computer.

Doing triple boot is also possible, if you would like to keep MacOS, but I lack knowledge to provide the detailed instructions.

I will show you how to install Linux and Windows together on a Mac computer. Introduction So, hello and welcome in my first guide. = Installing Windows and Linux together on a Mac.
