Ventoy

Did you ever meet problems when installing the Windows from a USB drive? Trying to boot from a .img or .vhd file directly if the computer doesn’t support UEFI? Want to make a bootable USB for a driver iso (Catalyst/Dell/Realtek/…)? Ventoy app is your solution. Sometimes you’d like to boot from a USB drive, to transfer Windows and Linux images, or when you don’t want to write to a CD/DVD. But how do you install a bootloader to start it? Modern UEFI or BIOS systems check whether the first sector of a drive holds a special boot loader code (e.g. \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI on 64-bit UEFI systems). If not, they don’t know what to do with your USB drive.
