Easy Recovery Essentials Reviews
My desktop essentially failed to boot to Windows 10. I was at a point where all of my Windows 10 System Restore Points failed to help me restore my data and apps when I read about EasyRE. I bought the Windows 10 home version for $19.99 and the fun began. I won't go into all the gory details but I successfully created an ISO image on a CD, a DVD, and a USB flash drive. I tried booting to all three and the best I could get to was Windows 10 in SAFE Mode where I could see all my apps and data. Finally I read enough of the help files and customer comments and it turned out I had to turn off boot security in the system BIOS and enable Legacy Boot Mode. At least that finally got me to the point where I could see the EasyRE menu screen and run the Automated Repair feature, which did the trick and got me back to my data and apps in Windows 10. One other thing that was frustrating is that when the initial screen for EasyRE came up, it had three choices, but when I arrowed down to review them, nothing happened and the first choice was automatically run.
Definitely not plug and play. Although I created a disc as “told” I never did get the “help” screens that the website video said would come up. It may work for some folks but was a waste of money on my part.
Kenneth, it sounds like the bootable CD was not created correctly or your PC isn't set up to boot from the CD. Please read our help topic on the matter or send an email to our support team for assistance - don't give up!
I found out about NeoSmart 8 years or so ago when I was learning how to dual-boot my computer. There were many errors that this team helped me out with, and the EasyBCD software at the time.
Today was no exception, I was taking apart a RAID setup and the bootmgr on my remaining drive decided to go missing. I know I could have used a rescue disk and rebuilt, but EasyRE is such a nice tool, good price, I decided I would try it out as I trust this team, and 15 minutes later I was on the desktop. Thank you once again, NeoSmart!!
Thank you for your kind words, Brian. I'm glad we could help!
I'm a programmer, and I just spent five and a half hours trying to troubleshoot bootloader issues caused by me removing an Ubuntu GRUB install from my machine. The machine had neither an EFI partition, nor an MBR record, and was completely failing to boot. None of the commands I tried to use would work, and I had the dreaded “the requested system device cannot be found” error on trying to use bootrec /fixboot.
This disk fixed it in 20 minutes. I'm normally very wary of system repair software on the grounds that a lot of it is scammers, but this is a proper Linux-based recovery environment, and it just works. All I did was select my Windows install and let it do it's work.
I'm thoroughly pleased with the result, and it was worth every penny of the £15 I paid!
Easy Recovery Essentials can't boot at all in windows 10

Hi Marco, I'm sorry to hear you couldn't get EasyRE to work. Please send an email to our support team at easyre@neosmart.net - we're more than happy to help.
My PC is stuck in a “wait a minute” loop. Reading the happy fantasy of EasyRE i thought it would solve all problems. It was to good to be true. yep, it not true. Money is gone, lesson is learned.
Hello. I'm sorry EasyRE didn't work for you. Please email our support department for assistance or a refund; hopefully we can still get your PC back up and running.
Added quite a few partitions to my old drive and still did not fix the bsod that transferring the drive created. Now the bootable USB software no longer works and shows EE no screens found, crashes, and never boots back into the GUI. Something is wrong here.
Hi Dink, it sounds like something may have gone wrong with the CD or USB you made. We also have a new release in beta you can try. Just email our support department at easyre@neosmart.net and we'll see what we can do.
My system crashed and didn’t boot. I purchased this software and tried to run it to recover my PC. It did not fix anything. It was a waste of money!
Hi BCP. I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to get into the EasyRE environment to fix your PC. Usually it's an issue with how the CD or USB was made. Please email our support department and we'll walk you through it!
This pos doesnt work.dont buy it.
I am a musician/song writer who records at home on his computer. Pro Tools is an audio recording software. I needed to uninstall it, and when I did my PC would not boot. Tried windows startup repair (which NEVER works). I was looking at losing all of my software if I performed a reinstall of the OS. Easy Recovery Essentials worked great for me. It fixed the boot sequence, but I also needed to use System Restore so I could go back to an earlier time before the offending program was even installed. No problem as ERE has that option built in. I took a little while, and several tries, but I was able to get my PC back !! Thanks Easy Recovery Essentials !!
did not boot no emulation
Hi Keith. It sounds like you may have used an unsupported product to make the USB. Please use our free (one-click) Easy USB Creator to make the bootable USB from your download. Instructions can be found here: http://j.mp/EREUSB
Bought this to help me repair a dual boot windows 10 setup. Burned the ISO to USB and booted up. But whatever I do it halts with errors like no window found or servererror
Hi Dan. It sounds like it might be an issue with your video card. We have a beta version of EasyRE that greatly improves the compatibility with some notebook and workstation graphics cards; please email easyre@neosmart.net for a copy and hopefully it'll do the trick.
Didn't fix, made it worse, waste of $20.
Was leery of purchasing but after exhausting all other options over the course of 3 days, EasyRE swooped in and fixed my boot issues with absolute aplomb on Server 2008 R2. Wish that for the price paid for Server edition that a simple universal option would be provided, but it got the job done.
