Ventoy for Windows

Bootable USB tool

Ventoy is an open-source tool that is currently in active development. It uses ISO images to create USB devices bootable using an innovative technique that allows you to install operating systems directly from your hard drive.

There are many programs that can be used to create bootable USB drives, including Rufus and Yumi. They use the traditional method of extracting an ISO to the USB to make the device bootable. This reduces the number of possible applications to the device to one.

Ventoy's innovative approach allows you to save files to a USB drive, and then boot directly from it. This allows you to place multiple images on one device and then use them as required.

Ventoy's installation is simple. After you have downloaded and launched the file, it will open a window that shows you a list with available setup locations. You just need to choose your USB drive and click the Update button. The program will then boot your device.

Then you can place ISO images onto your USB. Ventoy will present you with a selection menu that includes over 470 ISO files from several operating systems (for now with more to follow). Click on the one that interests you and wait for it to finish.

This program can perform Legacy BIOS or UEFI booting. This significantly increases the number of operating system options. It supports Secure Boot, Persistence for Linux and auto-installation for further customizing your configuration.

Ventoy has a simple, clean interface, despite not having the most stylish design. It shows available options on clearly labeled fields and ISO options in lists, or a tree view.

This tool is easy to use, so you don't have to manually update your program each time you upgrade.

This program is extremely powerful and greatly simplifies the installation and booting processes. The product is constantly being improved by the developer, who adds support for new systems and fixes existing problems. Ventoy may be the right solution for you if you frequently work with multiple ISO files.
