Reboot into other windows

[devlos]

Hello!!

I'm looking for a way to reboot from one windows 7 installation to another with a desktop shortcut or something like that. Is that possible and how? It is just inconvenient sometimes for me do it "manually" with windows boot manager.

Yes.

My notes:


Do not set Bootloader timeout to 0, set it to at least 2 seconds, otherwise you won't be able to change OS at bootup by repeatedly pressing keyboard arrows to pause at the bootup OS screen selection so you can make a choice if needed at bootup.


Simply CHECKING default Operating System - saves default OS. There is no need to click on Save Settings to change default OS. Download Page: http://neosmart.net/download.php?id=1 [Scroll Down and use any Name & Email to Download]

Tools > Options >
CHECK: Expert mode
CHECK: Remember the BCD Backup directory upon exit
UNCHECK: Everything else

Display Options TAB:
Default TAB at start up: Edit Boot Menu
CHECK: Everything else


EasyBCD cannot run on systems where Windows XP or earlier OS are installed without Windows Vista/7/8.
Windows Vista/7/8 are required to have been installed elsewhere on the same system. Use Extended Operating System Loader http://xosl.sourceforge.net/ for multiboots consisting of only Windows XP or earlier operating systems.

Thats great! I was able to rename my other windows install too, something I was wanting to do. Plus I found ireboot which works awesome. You da man.

Side note, I didn't even fill in a name or email and was still able to complete the dl

Yea... iReboot does not change the DEFAULT operating system, it just reboots into the OS of choice, leaving the default OS setting unchanged.

That's why I use EasyBCD instead of iReboot - sometimes I have a need to change the default OS, not just reboot into another OS...
