Hello @macguru341, yes a dual boot with OS X and windows 10 is no problem. one thing you need to know. the OS X is the first system u need to install on your machine, after successfully installation u can create a partition to install windows on it

You don't need to install macOS first. All orders are OK, at least in my case, I installed Windows first then macOS.

I still have my stock factory install of Windows 10. I just made a second partition and installed MacOS on it and it works just fine. There is a drawback with this approach however. Since the stock Windows 10 is installed with RAID SATA mode, I have to switch back and forth between AHCI and RAID depending on which system I want to boot. It's a minor inconvenience, but I just couldn't be bothered (read: lazy) to reinstall windows properly.
