What EasyBCD is

EasyBCD is a Windows bootloader editor for setting up dual-boot configurations and managing startup entries. It can configure systems involving Windows, Linux, macOS and BSD, and can boot from or into USB drives, ISO images and virtual disks. Users can add, rename, remove, configure and reorder boot-menu entries, including entries for recovery utilities or safe mode. The software also offers options to back up and repair the bootloader, and NeoGrub scripting can support more complex setups such as hiding partitions or changing active flags. It supports BIOS and UEFI systems. Personal, non-commercial use is free; commercial use costs $39.99 one time. NeoSmart advises care when changing boot settings and states that EasyBCD cannot fix a PC that will not boot, directing users to EasyRE for that situation. The latest release listed in the changelog is EasyBCD 2.4.0.237, dated November 28, 2018.
