8,1 iMac Dual Boot OSX 10.11 with Win 11

[Procrastinus]

Using a first class guide: Joseph Lo's Tech Log I was easily able to dual boot OSX and Win 11 on an elderly 24" iMac 8,1 with a 240GB SSD without Bootcamp, et al.
For the Windows installation, follow these instructions: Win 11 on Unsupported Hardware and download RealTek v2.7 for sound. Otherwise all else works straight off.
I also installed MacFan on both OS to provide extra cooling.
A new lease of life to an excellent machine
