What is Ventoy?
Ventoy is a free, open-source tool for creating bootable USB drives. Once it is installed on a drive, you simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG or VHD files onto it and choose which one to boot from a menu, so a single stick can carry several operating system installers and rescue tools.
Pros
- No need to reformat for each ISO
- Supports a wide range of images
- Free and open source
Cons
- Installing it wipes the USB drive
- Secure Boot set-up can take extra steps
Who should use Ventoy
People who install or repair operating systems and want one USB stick for everything.
Who may not need it
Anyone who never needs to boot a computer from USB.
