[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1824066, member: 396914"] Nick, I think one could have two partitions on the hardware, one formatted for HFS+ and the other for APFS. So technically, you could still do what you said. However, older versions of the OS (Pre-High Sierra) cannot read APFS. But you can do a hardware partition still and have two distinct formats in the partitions and two distinct operating systems. Once in APFS, then the "partitions" there are really containers, of course. That is, of course, how Bootcamp works. The Widows partition is formatted NTFS, the Mac partition is APFS. [/QUOTE]
