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 (screenshot).

x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way. Most type of OS supported (Windows/WinPE/Linux/Unix/VMware/Xen...)

700+ ISO files are tested (list),
90%+ distros in distrowatch.com supported (details),

I can confirm this being amazing. Got me a 64GB stick this friday, installed ventoy and chucked void, fedora, windows and boot repair disk on it. Freaking magic compared to floppy's, CDs and separate- or reformatted usb-sticks.

Dayum, this is exactly what I need. I plan to install Android x86 into my tablet and also check the device's partitions with Gparted.

Thank you. This was the tool I needed. Finally I did can try out Linux as it was my main driver. It was just a so good experience. I'll definitely consider changing to Linux via this tool. This just made my life easier. Thank you again for posting this :)
