I am planning to install Win_8 on the same HDD which currently carries Win_XP and Win_7 which are both controlled by BCD.
Please, advise of the BCD version/pre version I should use.

Regards,
Armin

Only 2.2 EasyBCD supports W8
You can install it on the current system and it will auto-uninstall any previous version (if you tell it to when it asks)

Click to expand...

But it doesn't seem to support EFI, it only directs the BCD to Winload.exe!!

On my dual OS computer (Win XP and Win 8), I want to replace Win XP by Win 8. Will it then be possible to dual boot?

Yes, but turn off "fast boot enabled" in the W8 power options.
