Ventoy 1.0.87 is a free and open-source program for creating bootable USB drives from ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
You don’t have to format the disk multiple times with Ventoy; simply copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy multiple files at once, and Ventoy will present you with a boot menu from which you can select them (screenshot).
Likewise, you can also browse and boot ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files from local disks.
The same is true for x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86 64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI, and MIPS64EL UEFI. Most types of operating systems (Windows/Win PE/Linux/Chrome OS/Unix/VMware/Xen…) are supported.
