Easy2Boot is free software for Windows that makes it possible to boot many image files easily from a single USB drive. Most users have difficulty trying to boot a disk image from a USB drive due to a variety of different formats and different boot options. Easy2Boot takes the guesswork out of this and makes it much easier to create a multiboot USB drive: the Make_E2B tool prepares the drive, and the boot menus are built automatically from the files you copy to it. It supports legacy BIOS and UEFI booting, including Secure Boot, and offers three menu systems: E2B (grub4dos), agFM (grub2) and Ventoy. You can even customize the way the menu looks to suit your preferences. The drive is formatted with NTFS by default, so image files larger than 4 GB are supported; USB flash drives work, and USB hard disks and SSDs can be used as well.

Features:

  • It is easy to maintain; all that has to be done is to copy the image files you want to boot to the proper menu folders on the USB drive and Easy2Boot will take care of the rest.
  • This software allows a direct boot of .iso, .img, .ima, .vhd, .vhdx, .wim, .efi and other files from the USB drive, including Linux, Windows installer, anti-virus and DOS utility images.
  • There is also an option to create a multiboot drive, which allows you to choose which image to boot from on the same USB drive. This allows for a more convenient way to keep all bootable files on one USB drive.
  • Partition images (.imgPTN files) can be switched in as a new partition on the drive, which allows booting with Secure Boot enabled without changing the BIOS or UEFI settings.
It is easy to maintain; all that has to be done is to copy and paste files to the USB drive.

Overall, Easy2Boot allows for a wide variety of disk image files to be booted from a USB drive. There are also many options available to make it easier to create a bootable disk with multiple images to boot from, and an existing drive can be updated to a new version without losing its files. This is a good solution for those who wish to boot from a USB drive without having to do too much work, or for those who do not know how to boot from an image manually. Documentation, video tutorials and optional paid eBooks are available on the official website.
