In development is automatic creation of GRUB based loaders for Linux descendants like Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora. Update of the tool will follow for this functionality to cover Windows 8.x and Windows 10 loaders.Ī boot sector loader (for booting Linux, Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mac OS X) is created with one click but needs manual creation of one additional boot related file with corresponding MBR/PBR boot code for chain loading the non-Windows OS. Visual BCD Editor implements unique automatic creation of loaders for Windows 7/Vista/XP and VHD installations in dual or multi boot systems (since version 0.9.2 of the tool) and so is the ultimate Windows 7/Vista/XP dual/multi boot editor. See details about text or graphic style boot menu. Windows 8 introduced graphical(metro) or text style boot menu which depends on numerous elements and other BCD tools hardly can edit all possible combinations of elements in boot manager, loader and settings objects which influence boot menu style. Display order of loaders is only one characteristic. Visual BCD Editor allows complete editing of boot menu. See short introduction to BCD objects and elements. The user can create, delete or edit every object like boot manager, loader or setting, add and remove elements with simple selections and clicks. The tool gives a structured view of Windows BCD store with its explorer like interface and allows easy editing of all BCD objects and elements by novice or advanced users. (For Windows 10/8.x on BIOS or UEFI we recommend version 0.9.0.1 of the tool as later versions can edit only objects which have a description element - boot manager and loader objects.) It is the first GUI tool to implement full editing of Windows 7/Vista Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store. Visual BCD Editor is an advanced graphical user interface (GUI) version of Windows bcdedit utility. Visual BCD Editor - graphical bcdedit utility
