Ventoy
About Ventoy
Ventoy is an open-source tool for creating bootable USB drives, released under GPL-3.0. After installing Ventoy to a drive once, you simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD(x) or EFI files onto it and pick one from a boot menu, with no repeated formatting. Many images can live on the same drive.
It supports MBR and GPT, Legacy BIOS plus IA32, x86_64, ARM64 and MIPS64EL UEFI, and Secure Boot. More than 1300 ISO files have been tested, covering Windows, WinPE, Linux, Unix, ChromeOS variants and VMware ESXi. On Windows you extract the package and run Ventoy2Disk.exe. A plugin framework and the VentoyPlugson GUI add auto-installation, persistence, themes and password protection.
