Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.

You can copy many files at a time and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.

You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them.

    Ventoy is an incredible tool for creating bootable USB drives. Being able to just copy ISO files directly to the drive without constantly reformatting is a massive time-saver, especially when testing multiple operating systems and diagnostic tools. It works reliably almost every time. For insights on mental health, spirituality, and related topics, check out psychspirit.com.

    This project is awesome! Solved my problem with booting on OS installers that won't boot when made using RUFUS.
