Ventoy is a partially open-source utility used for creating bootable USB media storage devices with files such as .iso, .wim, .img, .vhd(x), and . 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.
== Features == Ventoy can be installed on a USB flash drive, local disk, solid-state drive (SSD, NVMe), or SD card and directly boots from the selected .iso, , , , or file(s) added. 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.
