User Reviews

  • Excellent Program This allowed me to dualboot Windows 10 and Linux Mint. Since after installing Linuxmint the grub didn't appear. After installing this program it worked like a charm. Saved me a lot of time.
  • The program works great and I have had no issues so far.
  • Grub2Win is a very useful tool, several of my projects use it.
  • Windows Defender and Avast both say it had a trojan, but after reading the forum I decided to install it on a VM and see. Alas, no trojan. I previously installed and since uninstalled BlissOS , which installed grub. Grub2Win doesn't seem to be able to overtake the existing grub, as it continues to appear, not containing Phoenix, my current OS of choice. I seem to be the only one having problems with it so I won't rate it low, but no, it doesnt work for me.
  • I use Grub2Win for multi boot of Win10 and 2 different versions releases of Linux Mint (viz 20.0 and also latest 20.3). I have been using it since Apr2021 version 2.2.1.6. Now 25 updates later we are at version 2.3.2.9. The design is "retro" FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS. That's fine by me. "If it ain't broken why fix it"... I gave you a 5* rating because: - it always just works. - Updates are reliable and don't break things from one release to the next. That is SO IMPORTANT! - the start menu is customisable. I use my own favourite screen background. Thank you Dave Pickens and team for a reliable product that just works. Raphael
