"Best Practices for Setting Up a Triple-Boot System (Windows, Linux, and macOS) on UEFI BIOS"

Post by bekeanloinse56 »

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to set up a triple-boot configuration with Windows 11, Ubuntu, and macOS (for development purposes) on a UEFI-based system. I’ve used BootIt before for dual-boot setups, but I’m not sure about the best partitioning strategy or bootloader configuration when adding a third OS. So should I use a single EFI System Partition for all OSes, or is it safer to separate them? ANd how does BootIt handle macOS in a UEFI setup?

For UEFI, the EFI System Partition is expected to be used. For macOS, you'd need one that supports booting on PC, the UEFI on the Mac is an old version, plus moving away from x64 means it won't run on those different processors.
