When was first announced with, I exclaimed on iDB’s group chat session that I would be installing the OS as soon as it was available for download. Sebastien quickly rebuffed my excitement and told me how unreasonable it was to install a beta OS on my main machine, and especially so while I’m out of the country. After being a bit disappointed (that wasn’t what I wanted to hear at allI mean, SMS texting on OS X!) I eventually came to the realization that he was right.But then, I remembered that I didn’t need to settle. I could easily create a partition on my Mac and keep Yosemite completely separate from my main (and stable) Mavericks install.

It had been a while since I had last messed around with disk partitioning in OS X, but it didn’t take long before I was installing the Yosemite beta on the same Mac where my primary Mavericks install lays its head down at night. The benefits are multi-faceted.

Number one, you get to try out Apple’s new OS right now. Number two, you don’t have to worry about buggy beta software cramping your style; after all, you’re still running your main OS on the a separate partition. Number three, it can be done quickly, and with little to no downsides (as long as you have the disk space to spare). Check inside for our full tutorial that shows you how to install OS X 10.10 Yosemite on a separate partition on your primary Mac.

Before startingBefore you get going on this tutorial, you’ll need to ensure that you have adequate disk space to accommodate another OS installation. If you’re running a Mac with less than 256GB of total HDD space, then I don’t recommend doing this. This warning primarily applies to the lower end Mac’s with SSDs—think the entry level MacBook Air. I recommend doing this on Mac with 256GB of total HDD space and above.You also need to ensure you have adequate free disk space.

If your primary OS X installation consumes most of the hard drive space, you’ll need to delete some files, or reconsider your options. If you actually want to be able to use and fully test your Yosemite install, I recommend at least allocating 50GB of storage space to Yosemite partition. You might be able to scoot by with 30GB but that’s really pushing it if you actually want to be able to use Yosemite, download updates, and download apps. On my actual machine, I’ve allocated 50GB to the Yosemite partition for testing purposes.

Only you will know what you truly need, but the more space you can allocate (within reason) the better.

I recommend using at least 50GB.Step 6: Under Partition Information on the right-hand side of the screen, you’ll see the Name input box.
