Once Ventoy is installed on a USB drive, new installation files can be added without reformatting. Ventoy presents the user with a boot menu to select one of the installation files held on the USB drive.

Ventoy does not extract the image file(s) to the USB drive, but uses them directly, as it can unzip during installation. It is possible to place multiple ISO images on a single device and select the image to boot from the menu displayed just after Ventoy boots.
