Overview

EasyBCD is a system maintenance utility that allows users of all knowledge levels to take full control over their Windows BCD bootloader, and configure a dual boot between any two versions of Windows operating systems, Linux, Ubuntu, BSD and macOS without any troubles. This includes not only setting up your system for an additional OS, but also fully supporting advanced features such as updating entries of your old XP partition, debugging Windows Kernel, duplicating your entire OS partition, or even setting up a large testing environment that includes, for example, seven test operating systems, all accessible via single boot screen.

While EasyBCD is an essential tool for every user that wants to manage dual-boot machine both in their home and at work, it is also famous for being one of the best repair tools for managing corrupted or deleted multiboot sequences. Instead of hunting for obscure commands for repairing boot sequence, EasyBCD can in seconds repair and make accessible your old Windows XP boot sequence that was lost due to the effects of various Windows services, antivirus, or recovery tools.

Installation and Use

Like many other system maintenance utilities, this app was designed from the ground up to be easily used by not only new users but also when seasoned PC repair enthusiasts or system administrators that demand speed when solving their OS issues. Easy BCD can be quickly installed and used on Windows XP, Vista and 7, and can run under any Windows from your own disk.

The main interface of the app is separated into two parts – the main listing of all the app components on the left, and an in-depth listing of tools and user-accessible data on the left. The main sections of the app are View Settings (allowing customization of your boot sequence), Edit Boot Menu (useful not only for managing and restoring active OS instances but also for renaming them to your desired names), Add New Entry, Advanced Settings, BCD Backup/Repair, BCD Deployment, and Useful Utilities. To make the management of boot sectors safer, you can take control over backup points and always restore your position to a previous save point.
