Windows-To-GO Win 10 and Clover with Mavericks

[cobl62]

Hi all,

 

I had installed Windows n my Hackintosh, but I ended up in troubles  - the boot loader wash´t used anymore I always had to start my Mavericks via UEFI manually, otherwise it always started with Win 10.

Thats why I banned Windows from my hackintosh.

 

But this time I have new enthusiasm to run Windows from a Windows-to-go Stick on my hackintosh.

 

Does anybody have experience with this? does it change anything on the mbr or anything else on the system?

 

Do I just add this stick and boot or do I need to add drivers to the Clover EFI partition ?

 

Thanks for your help.

I think W2Go doesn't affect anything in the computer. In my experience, the only odd thing that it does is making Ubuntu to refuse to mount NTFS partitions in the computer. 

But there is a possibility of Windows taking control the UEFI and making it boot first. I can't see anything bad, because, if you unplug your stick, Windows will be gone haha.

Mate the best thing to do is to install Windows on your actual hard drive and then change your boot priority. Win2Go is very annoying since you have limited storage and slow read write speeds.

Just change the boot priority so it boots to Clover or Chameleon when your PC starts up.

If your Windows and OS X are on the same HDD then you should wipe the hard drive, install Windows first and then install OS X so that the bootloader overwrites Windows' one.

I had windows installed on a different hard drive.. when installing I was taking off the Mac OS hard drive. but after attaching it I was only able to boot manually with Mac OS. I was trying hard to change the boot priorities but somehow it was not possible as it was not found in boot priorities but only in bootable devices..

somehow the windows 10 installation changed the mbr.. clover is on my EFI partition so I boot without usb stick. therefore i am not really looking into windows on my machine..
