Ventoy

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.

With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly.

You can copy many files at a time and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.

You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them.

x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way.

Most types of OS supported (Windows/WinPE/Linux/ChromeOS/Unix/VMware/Xen...)

1100+ ISO files are tested, 90%+ distros in distrowatch.com supported.

This project is awesome! Solved my problem with booting on OS installers that won't boot when made using RUFUS.
