This is my first build and (because I'm so new at this) I brought it into a shop to complete the second half of the build, so I can't think of what else might be connected to the SATA ports. I thought that the M2M slot wasn't showing up as a boot option because there is no OS installed on that drive, but maybe it's because there's a SATA port(s) being used by another device? The images in my last post of the boot options in the BIOS were taken while both M.2 slots were occupied. If it doesn't matter please let me know, otherwise I'll reply to this again after I've swapped the drives and tried it out. That's the only way I can think of to assist the installation of MacOS by giving its drive first booting priority.

I'm going to try switching the placement of the the M.2 drives (putting them in the other slots) to try to install MacOS in the M2A slot, since I haven't been able to install MacOS' on the M.2 drive in the M2M slot.

I've understood that the boot option priorities are important to the installation process, but I can't find a way or any directions on how to change boot option priorities in the BIOS manually. When I installed Win10 I didn't know that it should be in the first slot the BIOS looks at, but it was installed on the M2A drive, which must be the first one the BIOS looks at for a boot drive (the image attached of the M.2 slot info was taken while the drive with Win10 installed on it was removed, but it was in the M2A slot). I got the impression that the presence of Win10 would prevent MacOS installation, but it's a relief to hear that's not the case. I've attached images of my 'boot options' in BIOS and of what I read about the product key encryption on the motherboard.Īny input would be very appreciated, I've been dealing with this issue for a long time.Ĭrucial 1TB Solid State Drive - PCI Express - Internal - M.2 2280 I'm wondering if there is a way to install a MacOS on a separate hard drive after running Windows on that system? I've read online that the product key is stored on the motherboard and I'm concerned that I'll have to replace the motherboard in order to successfully install a MacOS.

Unfortunately, Windows 10 is still listed under boot options as 'other OS' in my BIOS settings after the drive Windows was installed on was removed. After running into problems installing a MacOS, I removed the M.2 drive with Windows 10 installed on it, as I was told the system wouldn't recognize Windows 10 once the drive it was installed on is removed. Windows 10 was installed first and I ran it, assuming I would be able to choose the other empty M.2 drive in the boot options of my BIOS settings to install a MacOS. My build was done for the purpose of running a MacOS, but I also purchased Windows 10 with the intention of making a dual boot system with two M.2 drives (one for each OS).
