There is actually a way to install macOS on a drive that already has Windows installed on it without having to delete Windows, but this will only work if the Windows disk is GPT formatted.If the drive is formatted as MBR you are out of luck and cant follow this guide.
Youre only option would be to reinstall Windows in UEFI mode or install macOS first. Im not able to get enough free space from the Recovery partition or the small 16MB system reserved partition to reach 200MB. ![]() The reason Im going to delete the System Reserved partition is because the EFI partition needs to be next to a partition like the C: partition which we can take space away from and I cant do that the with System Reserved partition wedged between.

Based on what CPUProcessor you are using following the full guide below and then return to this one once you have macOS running. Just os you know you will need to completely wipe the drive you are using in order to format as GUID using Disk Utility. Also after macOS keep the flash drive the way it is as you will need it later.
