Ventoy helps in the creation of bootable USB sticks with less effort and supports the addition of multiple ISO file formats into one bootable disk. That being said, adding ISOs to a disk doesn’t need to be unpacked. Instead, you just have to drag them onto the USB stick then boot from it.
You can add an unlimited number of ISO files, however, the capacity depends on the size of the medium where your ISO files are stored. Ventoy then will give you a boot menu to select them.
Due to its versatility, Ventoy is well known for building multiple operating system install disks onto a single flash drive. Some folks who stick with old operating systems such as Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 can still use their image files without a problem.
Also, users of non-ISO image files do not have to worry, other image formats are also supported such as WIM (Windows Imaging), IMG, VHD (virtual hard disk), and EFI.
To use Ventoy, you don’t have to install it, just extract the application files to the desired destination.
