“Choose which operating system you want to use”

by Nick Mead about EasyBCD

If you need to switch between operating systems regularly - maybe to test a program or use a particular application, it's a pain to keep changing computers. It's much easier to switch between operating systems on the same PC which is exactly what EasyBCD allows you to do.

EasyBCD is geared for users of all kinds. Whether you just want to add an entry to your old XP partition or want to create a duplicate for testing purposes. Alternatively, you might be interested in debugging the Windows and need to make sure you've got a backup operating system to revert to if something goes wrong.

Setup wizards take you through the setup process which is fairly easy depending on your knowledge of your BIOS and bootloaders. The amazing thing is, there seems to be no operating system that EasyBCD can't install so even if you're going right back to Windows 95, you should have no problems. However note that although EasyBCD doesn't actually require Windows Vista itself to install, it does require the bootloader.

For anyone who needs a multiboot solution, this non-profit application is impressive in capabilities and easy to setup for those who understand something about how computers boot-up.

Pros
  • Allows you to install multiple operating systems
  • Wizards take you through setup
Cons

    Saved my skin

    I love EasyBCD - it's saved my skin more times than I can count. I've used it to fix problems with migrating from XP to Vista and then from Vista to 7, and each time I'm more and more impressed wit... More
