Grub2Win does have a rather enigmatic name for an application that seems to be more of a tool for fans of multiple boot setups. This particular program will help users manage multiple OS partitions together with the boot sequence they will require especially with combinations that include Windows, Mac, or Linux. The app does offer extended support for booting Linux distros.

If you thought this application was somewhat old simply because of its basic looks, think again. This program can very easily help individuals alter EFI boot order, although you'll have to disable Secure Boot for access to be granted to the app. The application features plenty of settings and options you might want to check out. You can access the partition list, obtain system info and run diagnostics to make sure everything looks and feels right.

It is also from this app's main window that a user can increase or decrease the value of boot timeout. An extra feature, named Grub timeout, has also been added and controls how many settings you've got during boot operation to use the Grub interface for switching between operating systems. Additional drivers can be procured if the situation requires it. A desktop shortcut can also be created. A restore feature has also made its way into the app's structure.

The application alters the boot sequence of your machine, allowing for its own menu to be displayed during startup. The user can alter the way this menu behaves while logged in, arranging entries, assigning hotkeys to easily operate while booting, and adding new bootable operating systems to the list. The ability to import Linux configurations is also achievable through the assigned button. Once you're happy with your created order, hit the Apply button and reboot to see if all is as expected.

Grub2Win is a great application for individuals who like to test or have multiple operating systems on their machine but would equally desire to have a fast and stress-free way of changing between these whenever required.

What's new in Grub2Win 2.4.0.2 Build 1657:
