Original Question:
Hi all, have had many Hackintosh laptops over the years but reluctantly need Windows OS for a few upcoming projects. I don't want to mess with duel boots etc so plan to load Windows 7 or 8 onto a SSD and swap out the drive on my laptop for when I occasionally need to use Windows.
Has anyone here done the same? Would appreciate any advice. I'm going to need to prepare this drive on my Hackintosh laptop running Yosemite as I don't have any Windows machines. Any tutorials or videos would be really appreciated... : )
