Hello, I have a pretty good computer: Gtx 980ti, 16gb ddr4 ram, an Intel I7 6700k, and Windows 10.

I want to install mac os on my pc as a separate OS apart from Windows 10. I'm making apps to Iphones as you do in Xcode, which only are available for macs. My little macbook isn't good enough anymore, so I wan't to install a mac os on my desktop.
I have tried Vmware but it's too laggy and slow... Aren't there a better program out there?

I just need a program or a way to have a mac os on my desktop, which isn't laggy...

If you have two drives like one SSD and one HDD then you can install Mac on HDD or on SSD and Windows on other. But before you install Mac OS on any drive let it be SSD or HDD that should be formatted so backup the data on it to other drive and then format it to install Mac. But yes first install Mac then Windows.

Before that you have to check that if the Hardware you have is compatible with Mac OS. If you can list details about your build it would be great.

Isn't there an easier way? Do I really need to uninstall Windows, then install mac and then Windows again? That seems like a lot of work... There must be an easier way to get mac without lag...

Sorry about the late answer but I have been quite busy, and didn't have a list of it already :)

My moterboard is: GIGA GA-Z170X-Gaming 7-EU
CPU: Intel core I7 6700k 4GHz
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 980 ti G1 Gam - 6GB
Ram: DDR4 16GB PC 2400 CL15 G.Skill KIT (2x8GB) 16GVR Ripjaws
CPU cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock

Here's the info, do you need any more?
And thanks for the help :)

Mhhh seems duable, but seems like a lot of trouble... Then I need to install all by programs, drivers and set all by settings again afterwards right? That's just seems like a but too much trouble, isn't there an easier option?

It will take half an hour of time. If you can spend half an hour of time then go for it.

I hope you have a Seagate Barracuda HDD or SAMSUNG/Crucial 2.5" SSD which are highly supported by Mac for OSX installation. If you have anything else like SanDisk(or any other brand) of SSD and WD(or any other brand) of HDD there is a possibility that installation may fail as Mac is choosy on what hardware it supports and limits its range.

I have a SAMSUNG 2.5" SSD and a Intenso 3TB HDD. If I do this, I need to wipe everything on the harddrives right? I can't leave any of the data on them? So I need to make a clean install of windows and all programs afterwards right?
