Complete usage of Simple VHD Manager

A VHD file simulates the file structure of the hard drive. You may think it is a ZIP file but not compressed. The VHD is used as a hard drive for the virtual machine, but the file can be mounted in the same way that the real hard drive is mounted.

After being mounted, the VHD appears on Windows like a real hard drive. You can add, delete, and edit files on the VHD, or create a new Windows installer, bootable VHD. If you have to use 2 or more operating systems at the same time, usually the best option for you is to install the second operating system on VHD. However it may generate some errors:

1. Virtual hard drives can disappear after booting is complete (this is a common error).
2. You must add the entry to the Boot menu.
3. Process attached and separated.

Simple VHD Manager is a software that supports VHD users to simplify some activities:

1. You can attach and split VHD / VHDX / ISO files by drag and drop.
2. You can permanently attach Virtual Hard Disk on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windos 8, and Windows 7.
3. You can easily add and / or remove VHD / VHDX / ISO files to the boot menu.
