Ventoy is an open source program that creates USB flash drives using pictures ISO.
The Ventoy is a free program, open source, equivalent to Rufus. That is, it can create bootable USB flash drives (or dvds, or SD, or SSD) with the operating system of your choice. The difference with Rufus is that it puts the ISO image of the operating system in the flash and does not export it.
Even better, it is possible to insert multiple ISO images into the USB device after it has been prepared by Ventoy. This allows you to boot into different Linux systems or install different versions of Windows directly from a single USB device.
The developer of Ventoy is very active and constantly updates its versions. The latest update is 1.0.31 and was rolled out on December 23rd. The program has support για Secure Boot, για εικόνες τύπου ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI, για την αλλαγή του συστήματος αρχείων του πρώτου διαμερίσματος (FAT32 / exFAT / ntfs / udf / xfs / ext2 / ext3 / ext4). Υποστήριξη για διάφορες διανομές Linux όπως το Ubuntu ή το Linux Mint και τέλος υποστήριξη για αυτόματη installation.
The latest version of Ventoy introduced many new ones possibilities and improvements. Adds support for directly booting wim files (legacy BIOS and UEFI). It allows you to boot directly from disk, without additional memory requirements. The system uses the native bootloader (old type + UEFI) and the configuration can be customized using the bcd file.
In conclusion
Ventoy is a powerful tool. One of its main features is that you insert ISO images directly into the device instead of having to export them. A second is that it supports multiple ISO images.
