MBR2 is a remote control for various Boot Loaders such as GRUB, Limine, etc. It is a series of programs that run on various Operating Systems such as Linux, BSD, MacOS, Windows, etc. These programs all do the same thing from WITHIN THAT OS: They set the values of GRUB, Limine, etc. then restart the computer effectively allowing you to restart in a different OS without waiting for GRUB, etc. to load and make your choice. No more 'missed' choice selection when you get distracted waiting for the computer to shut down then reboot into the Boot Loader! We all know the frustration of turning our head back to the screen and seeing the wait timer has expired and booted the default AND WRONG operating system! LOL!

You must download the correct version for each OS you use and install it in that OS. Win for Windows, Lin for Linux, BSD for BSD, etc.
