![]() ![]() This is not a criticism of the VenToy software, which does appear to offer a very interesting option for directly/regularly testing new ISOs without any of the pre-processing other solutions need and it's something I might well use on a dedicated external USB SSD/Hard Drive, but probably not on a 'Thumb Drive'. Run Ventoy2Disk.exe, select the device and click Install or Update. That is to say, you must copy ISO/WIM/VHD(x)/IMG/EFI files to the Ventoy disk to boot them. So Ventoy has always only supported to boot the image files in the disk where Ventoy installed. once VenToy has been used to create the dedicated usb drive it's no longer needed which is totally different to Rufus and other similar apps, which do have to be regularly used to process any new iso images.

You can use this method for any Linux distribution as there's one way to install Ventoy and that's from source. ![]()
