Question MacBook Pro 2012 - - - triple boot macOS with Linux or Windows ?

[seitsme]

hello !

which is the best way to make a triple boot system on a Macbook Pro with OSX High Sierra, Windows and Linux. I want Windows or Linux to run mobile phone repair programs mainly.

a) with the operating systems installed internal hdd 1TB drive
b) with the operating systems installed internal on 500GB SSD not M.2 (not sure if both are treated as SSD)
c) both cases above either with High Sierra and or Sonoma via OpenCore.

Which is the best possible choice, see below, without many installation or compatibility issues and troubleshooting of the below triple boot choices please. Is it compulsory to install Windows via eg bootcamp option or not?

1. OSX High Sierra with OSX Sonoma via OpenCore and Linux.
2. OSX High Sierra with OSX Sonoma via OpenCore and Windows.

I am stuck with making a triple boot system on Macbook Pro mid 2012, because i did something wrong with the formatting procedure I assume, especially, but also not sure if my mid 2012 Macbook can support such options and which must be executed first?

thanks

For the least hassle and best performance, I recommend using the 500GB SSD with macOS High Sierra, Windows via Boot Camp, and Linux. This configuration minimizes installation issues and provides a smoother experience for running mobile phone repair programs. Make sure to back up your data before proceeding with any installations, and follow the partitioning guidelines carefully to avoid formatting issues.
