Like many things, don’t go downloading software from any old place on the Internet.

The savior, thy name is Ventoy.

Toshiba USB Drive

Why have I been wasting so much time (and money) on so many USB flash drives to put operating system images on?!

OK, so just what is Ventoy?

It really is that easy.

The support is astonishing, too.

Booting from Ventoy is no more difficult than booting from the USB installer you used to create.

Plug your USB drive into your PC and click install.

That’s literally all there is to it.

No flashing, no other tools, just drag and drop.

There’s almost nothing to the app, just a simple click on install to get set up.

Choose the one you want, hit enter, and you’re into the installation process.

Ventoy is the one you need.
