Does the free EaseUS partition master no longer support making a bootable USB?

I used to use EaseUS partition master, free software and I think it offered an option to make a bootable USB version of itself otherwise I doubt i'd have used it.

Now though I download it and it has an option to make a WinPE thing but it says only in the pro version.

Is the option to make a bootable version no longer free?

i.e. is it that previously the bootable version was free, but no longer / have there been a policy change / them making their policy tighter on this?

Based on EaseUS website it was never possible to create a bootable media with the free edition of their software.

It never supported it.

The ability to create a WinPE bootable disk is not a feature of the free edition of the EaseUS partition manager.

is it that previously the bootable version was free, but no longer

I look as far back as 2016 and it wasn't a feature then either.

I looked even further to 2015 and it still wasn't a feature.

In 2014 it was also not a feature of the free edition.

In 2013 the feature didn't even exist.

Based on historical evidence it was actually never a feature of the free edition.

It did used to support it

It might have been at that time it was possible to run the regular easeus from within BartPE, BartPE was I think like a basic windows OS based on WinPE.

There is no WinPE option in the free one now. And maybe the regular version wouldn't even run within a BartPE / WinPE based OS. It might be possible to do it but there's no option viewable to do it.

  • BartPE was based on WinPE which was customized. It was based on the Windows XP version of WinPE. WinPE can be customized and nearly any application can be added to a WinPE image.

  • AT Ramhound that makes sense, and in which case, probably one may as well run the regular version of whatever partition program and the lack of a slimmed down bootable usb version doesn't matter 'cos a fully/ regular featured version can run off USB anyway. Though maybe arguably a tad less convenient
