v19.0.0.172 - For the routine to create bootable media, we've add a whole new capability. Up until now, you could create a single bootable item but you could add additional partitions for other data on the same disk. We have now added the capability to create bootable media that can allow you to choose between multiple items. For example, you might be able to choose between Windows 10, Windows 11, a Macrium Reflect recovery disk, and more. At the same time you could still have additional partitions. Note that this option works only with x64 UEFI based systems, however, especially now with the release of Windows 11, x86 BIOS based systems are becoming less common and you may never need to deal it. Note that the new mode for creation of multiple bootable partitions does not yet have BitLocker support or the ability to refresh partitions with updates. For the moment, both of these operations can be easily accomplished manually but those features are coming soon.
