Ventoy 1.1.00: Simplifying Bootable USB Drives
A new version of Ventoy got released.
Ventoy is an open-source tool designed to create bootable USB drives for ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD(x), and EFI files. With Ventoy, there’s no need to constantly format your disk. Simply copy the desired ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD(x), or EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can transfer multiple files at once, and Ventoy will present a boot menu for you to select from. It supports both Legacy BIOS and UEFI in the same manner, and is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, WinPE, Linux, Unix, ReactOS, Android x86, and ChromeOS.
