Hey all.
As much as I DON'T like Apple for a lot of things, I do admit that OSX is a fairly tidied up operating system, and I find that it'd be perfect for some of the software we use at college that apparently isn't on Windows, and it would be good for syncing with my iPod Touch (in which I post from most of the time).
Question; is it possible to DUAL BOOT my current installation of Windows 8 Pro with WMC, with Mac OSX Lion? If it is, how? And if not, how could I run Lion virtually?
I have 3 options at the moment.
1: Using the "Niresh" Lion ISO that I downloaded (I'm not a pirate, and I DID buy a legitimate copy).
2: Use my legitimate OSX Lion DVD.
3: Buy Lion from the online Apple Digital Store.
Now, trickiest part is that I'm rocking an AMD processor, and after vivid researching, I've stumbled across the fact that Intel is the way to go for Hackintoshing. That's why I'm opting for the Niresh ISO, but as I said, I still went out and bought a legitimate install DVD.
So, is it possible? I WAS able to use OSX Snow Leopard in VirtualBox, but some stuff I needed required Lion. If it comes down to it, could I DUALBOOT using SL instead?
Sorry that I'm posting this on a Windows forum, but it will also be posted elsewhere.
Thanks
