Put Multiple ISOs on One USB Drive Without Reformatting — Ever Again

Installing or troubleshooting an OS always meant the same painful loop: format USB, write ISO with Rufus or Balena Etcher, use it, repeat from scratch for the next one. Ventoy eliminates that entirely.

Install Ventoy on your USB drive once. Then copy any ISO files onto it like regular files — Windows 11, Ubuntu, Fedora, a rescue environment, anything. Next time you boot from the USB, Ventoy shows a menu of all the ISOs on the drive. Pick the one you want. Add new ones by copying. Remove them by deleting. No reformatting, no flashing, no waiting.

Supports 1000+ ISO images including all Windows versions, every major Linux distribution, and rescue tools like Hiren's BootCD. Works with both MBR and GPT partition styles. Compatible with most BIOS and UEFI systems.

One USB to rule them all — IT technicians, sysadmins, and power users have been waiting for this.
