A great feature is the ability to use a large USB drive while being able to keep your current data.

Simple and fastīootable USB Creator is simple and faster than other similar tools since it uses native code. Additionally, if you need to work away from home and use an internet cafe or borrow a computer, you can use the bootable drive to boot into Windows. IT technicians also use bootable drives to repair broken configurations or if they need to test out different desktop experiences. Since they don’t have to download the Windows installation file to every computer, it saves them time.

IT staff can use these drives if they have to upgrade many computers. Bootable USB usesĪ bootable USB drive is handy if you experience significant issues with your operating system and need a way to perform a clean install or reinstall. The utility can also fix corrupted Master Boot Records (MBR) in the first sector of the USB drive. Just like with Memtest86, you'll need a working operating system like Windows, Mac, or Linux to create the bootable disc or flash drive, which can be done on a different computer than the one that needs testing.Since it uses native code, creating the bootable drive is faster than with other tools such as Windows Media Creation Tool and the USB Flash Drive Format Tool. Memtest86+ is available in ISO format for burning to disc or USB. Therefore, it might be hard to get used to for some people. Something I don't like about this tool, but that I can't really hold against it considering the other options in this list, is that it's text-based. It might seem a bit strange that I rank this as the #3 pick, but since it's so incredibly similar to Memtest86, your best bet is to try Memtest86 followed by WMD, which operates differently, providing you with a more well-rounded set of memory tests. I'd recommend performing a memory test with this software if you have any problems running the Memtest86 RAM test or if Memtest86 reports errors with your memory, and you'd like an excellent second opinion. Memtest86+ is a modified, and presumably more up-to-date, version of the original Memtest86 memory test program, which I profiled in the #1 position above.
