bootnext

bootnext makes it simple for anybody to understand what it does. It helps individuals choose from within a Windows-based OS the next system they'd like to boot into after restarting the machine. It does this with the help of the EFI BootNext option. The application itself is made up of a simple system tray menu, with the possible choices picked up right from your boot menu.

There is no interface to this app. In fact, it would better be characterized as a tool. It offers functionality to those who have an idea about dual-boot systems, multiple OS PC utilization. In fact, it helps individuals who are trying to dual boot Linux-based systems with Windows. It becomes more difficult to manage such an arrangement because of the adjustments that need to be made to the boot sector. Two different versions of Windows are going to be much easier to manage, from this perspective, at least.

bootnext is an application that will probably help only a handful of people. Why? Simply because dual booting is more of an experimental side of computing, for those interested in testing multiple operating systems, for those wanting to understand boot sequences, and so on. Also, keep in mind that if you'd like to create a scheduled task for this particular app, you can either use the provided MSI file or add the app yourself using the EXE variant and a Windows OS Task Scheduler. Uninstalling the app will also remove the created task.
