Ventoy production boot U disk installation tutorial, and the method of installing Ventoy without formatting the U disk

Ventoy is a new generation of multi-ISO bootloader developed by Chinese people. Users only need to copy the required ISO image files to the USB flash drive and then select the ISO image files they want in the Ventoy interface.

Five advantages of Ventoy

• Extensive compatibility: supports various Linux distributions including Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, WinPE system and Ubuntu.

• No format disk required: the tool can be installed directly on the U disk and does not need to burn other images to the U disk, all the user needs to do is copy the ISO to the U disk.

• Boot Compatibility: Legacy BIOS and UEFI modes are supported indiscriminately. No matter what mode your computer motherboard uses, Ventoy can automatically detect and identify it.

• Large files: This tool also supports copying image files larger than 4GB to a USB flash drive, which is important because Windows 10 image files are larger than 4GB.

• Other advantages: Multiple operating system images can coexist without needing to use a new format to burn each time, support write protection during startup, and version upgrades will not lose data.
