Hello everyone, I was very interested in having a hackintosh dualboot with windows setup. I had done a basic hackintosh installation on one of my old laptops several years back and I know at that time, getting a hackintosh setup was much more difficult.
After building my new machine, could someone please tell me if it would be capable of running hackintosh + Windows 7?

I did some research if my motherboard and gpu were supported or not. I didn't really find anything on my motherboard, but apparently my GPU has native support. (What about SLI? And multi monitors?) Also I didn't find much on my uDaC (for audio/headset setup), but I assume it would work fine? Another big issue for me is the Network adapter.
I know that several years back, you needed to have 2 wireless adapters in order to run hackintosh as well as windows, but would it be possible now in my case to properly have 1 partition for hackintosh and 1 for windows, both of which that can utilize my hardware to its fullest extent without having the need for duplicate hardware?
Thank you!
