Instead of five, six or however many boot discs you need, everything is stored on a single flash drive. Ventoy is a brilliantly conceived – and executed – fix to all of this.

Open a drawer and unless you’ve labelled them all, which drive contains what boot media? Not to mention the faff involved in writing new images or burning new discs when the boot media gets an update. Aside from the expense of burning discs or investing in more and more flash drives, there’s the question of clutter. Click OK.How many boot discs or flash drives do you own? It’s possible to build up quite a collection, from Linux live CDs and antivirus rescue discs to boot media for apps as diverse as drive imaging to data recovery. Once the formatting completes, an Info window will appear congratulating you for a successful install.The app will open another Warning window confirming if you want to reformat the drive.A Warning window will pop up, asking you if you want to continue.Once you're ready to format your USB drive, click on Install.This action digitally signs your boot drive so modern, more secure systems will read your boot drive as valid. You can also look for the lock icon on the left of the Ventoy In Package version number to ensure that secure boot support is activated. Click on the Option menu and ensure that Secure Boot Support is checked.Important: Ensure the drive you chose is empty because Ventoy will erase its contents and format it. In the Ventoy2Disk window, under the Device dropdown menu, select the correct removable drive where you want to install your multiboot USB.If you're using a 64-bit x86 processor, a 32-bit ARM processor, or a 64-bit ARM processor, you have to go inside the altexe folder, copy the applicable install file back onto the main folder, and then open it from there.If you're using a 32-bit or 32-bit compatible x86 processor, open the Ventoy2Disk.exe app inside the unzipped folder.Installing Ventoy is a pretty simple process.
