Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly.
You can copy many files at a time and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them (screenshot). You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them. x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way. Most types of OS supported (Windows/WinPE/Linux/ChromeOS/Unix/VMware/Xen...)
Local note: Download current version from the Ventoy web site and unzip. Execute Ventoy2Disk to format a thumb drive and install the Ventoy loader there. If there is already a copy of Ventoy on the drive, you can upgrade to the current version.
When the drive key is inserted into a Windows system, two drives will be mounted. Ignore VENTOYEFI. That is the tool's boot drive. The library of ISO images is on the Ventoy drive. These files are managed like all other files with the file manager.
Copy bootable .iso files to the drive. The number is only limited by the space available on the drive.
