Ventoy

Ventoy Overview

Ventoy is an open source tool for creating a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files without requiring installation.
With ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to your USB drive and boot them directly.
You can copy many files at once and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.
x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are similarly supported. Most OS types supported (Windows/WinPE/Linu/Unix/VMware/Xen…)
