Restart the machine to get to the rEFInd menu.This shouldn't do anything to your hard drive. On the second page select the option to download the latest Windows support software from apple an follow the instructions.Open Boot Camp Assistant and click continue.In order for windows play nicely with mac hardware you need to install the bootcamp drivers. I felt that windows was the most likely to cause problems so I decided to do it first to minimize my losses if it failed and wiped everything. Don’t worry about accidentally removing the recovery partition, you can get it back later and removing it my make it easier to get windows to install. MacOS wil be installed in one of the first partitions since it is already installed and linux doesn’t care where you install it to.

Copy the sample config file to the same place as the other files and rename it to nfīless -mount /Volumes/ESP -setBoot -file /Volumes/ESP/EFI/REFIND/refind_圆4.efi -shortform.Create a directory called REFIND in the EFI volume at /EFI/REFINDĪll paths are from the root of the rEFInd directory that you downloaded and all the files go into the directory you just created.Run the command: csrutil disable to disable SIP.Disable System Integrity Protections: this sounds bad but in order to mess with the EFI boot loader you have to do this.These instructions assume an x86_64 architecture, if you for some reason have something different then you will need to pick a different set of files to copy across. a wired internet connection (in my experience this was necessary in order to get wifi working on Ubuntu but you mileage may vary).A second computer (again, may not be needed but also might be essential for troubleshooting).A macOS installer for your chosen version of macOS (can be downloaded from the App Store).An extra flash drive (may not be needed but can be very useful).A linux ISO or install disk (Any should work but I picked Ubuntu Desktop).
A Mac running a recent-ish version of macOS.Full disk encryption for macOS using filevault.Multiple OSs installed with the ability to add more.Doing it this way meant that I had no data on the SSD while I experimented with partitions and boot managers although everything I did should be possible on a drive with an existing system. I decided that I wanted to make my system faster by replacing the hard drive with an ssd and while I was at it I decided I also wanted to have Windows and Ubuntu partitions. I have a mid-2012 15” non-Retina Mac book pro with a 1TB hard drive. That being said this should leave all of your data untouched.
