Add specific guide to select the original OS, not the latest OS.

| Sep 26, 2020 at 16:10 | comment | added | bmike♦ | We can get you sorted out, I’m almost sure of it. Do you have an external hard drive @Rima ? If so, boot to internet recovery and install any OS on to that external. Then you can boot from that (hold down option key) and then we proceed to fix the internal drive... Windows will not download the correct drivers in my experience without a lot of hard work. I recommend the easy path... | |

Dual and Triple boot on hardware is quite easy and won’t leave you stranded if one OS no longer boots to you want to go back. Virtualization is also very nice on hardware that powerful. | |
