macOS Sierra 10.12 and Windows 10 Dual boot
I have an Acer laptop with an i5-4210U and nVidia GeForce 820m
I have been using it for the past 4 years almost as a windows 10 laptop
I have a 60gb ssd in it for windows and a 500gb hdd for games/pictures
That 500gb is split into 350 data partition and 150 unallocated
My question is if I could install mac os without formatting my 500 gb hard drive so in that 150 unallocated space or onto my ssd along windows.
I dont mind uninstalling windows or formatting my ssd but that hdd data is priceless so I dont want it formatted.
I have created a 16 gb USB osX bootable drive. What should I do?

If you want MacOS and Windows on the same machine, be aware that Apple only licenses its software for use on hardware made and sold by Apple, so "Hackintoshes" are illegal.

Consider instead an Apple machine with a separately-licensed installation of Windows running through BootCamp.
