Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave parititions

[mattspace]

trying to think ahead for potential issues before setting up test partitions on a sierra system with a non-efi GPU.

• If sierra is on my SSD, will the High Sierra or Mojave installers attempt to convert it to APFS, when trying to install them on partitions on a different (spinner) disk? Or is it only the install target they attempt to convert?
• Will my Sierra system be able to recognise the APFS partitions as bootable options in the startup disk prefpane, or will I need to boot with option to switch to one of them?
  • If so, how does that mix with no boot screens on RX580?

thanks.

*grr* stupid subject typo.

My experience so far.

1) Only the target disk will be converted to APFS.

2) 10.12.6 can read APFS.

I'm running both High Sierra and Mojave on HFS+, but when Mojave is on HFS+ it won't upgrade 🙁

Why there is no APFS support under Windows?
