Try & Decide my favorite software
Hi guys,
Frist I'm sorry if there's already some post about this. Didn't find the search function on site particularly good. For one I could not sort on date or relevance.
Okey, Try & Decide is my favorite software. I've been using it alot sense my Windows reinstall, first time sense I upgraded years ago.
Here's the "problem"
When using Try & Decide the boot order is changed in bios but never changed back. AND because I also use Acronis Survival Kit installed on my External HDD which is contacted atm. Whenever I use T&D and decline changes (maybe if I allow too) I'm booted in to Acronis recovery thingy because the boot device (order) has changed from Win10 on my SSD to the external device.
To workaround this I just quit the recovery and change the boot order. But as you can imagine that's quite annoying after a while so please correct this, thnx.
Oh, and for god sake, add Swedish keyboard layout in the recovery environment. Took me awhile to find the keys when I had to use it to delete an entry in BCDedit.

I did some limited testing with one of the beta builds for ATI 2019 and encountered no problems. I do not use it at all for day to day purposes. Given the issues mentioned in prior post, I would make sure I have a working recovery USB stick and do a backup before playing with try and decide.

I tested Try&Decide with several ATI versions including the latest "2020, Build 25700."
It always resulted in a "missing BootMgr" and I had to use a stick to restore the last backuup - which takes several hours every time.
My mainboard ASUSTeK Modell Z170-A (LGA1151), Version Rev 1.xx has an UEFI Bios (s.Annex) and this obviously is being changed by a LINUX action.
I had several contacts with friendly ACRONIS service teams but no solution - now after reading posts in this community I understand I'm not allone !
I'm not going to use it again !

I have managed to get it to work - different hardware to you, Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming 5 with Ryzen 1700X CPU. This was during beta testing for ATI 2019 and ATI 2020. Are you using a SATA or SATA Express drive - I was using a M.2 NVMe SSD.
My recollection is that recent builds of Windows 10 include a Sandbox which can be used for testing. Could still be in development but worth considering. Yes, just did a quick seacrh and there are multiple references to it on the web.
