I switched to Ventoy a few years back. It seems to work with most ISOs I have tried and comes with a nice menu that allows you to chose what ISO to load during boot. After you install the bootable part on your stick you just dump each iso file you would want to boot into a the root folder of the stick. On windows it creates 2 drive letters for your stick 1 for the boot code and a second for your files and ISOs.
Nice instructive video for those who care about installing Windows. I've moved to Linux 5 years ago and only use Windows at work only because that is what they use. My personal machine and VMs in that machine are Linux. I've had zero need to run any Windows apps. Linux has replacements.
Great information. Keep up the good work. Rufus is a great tool. Use it all the time. It also supports drag and drop ISO optional method in addition to the "Select" drop down menu option.
Dumb question but why can't you just mount the Windows iso to a virtual drive in Windows 10/11 and just copy the entire contents of that virtual drive across to a thumb drive? So long as you've enabled the showing of hidden files and folders and protected system files that should work with no need for downloading 3rd party tools ... right?!
I just built a new PC but did not have a retail copy of 11, just an OEM from the PC I'm replacing (a refurbished Dell Optiplex with Windows 11 Pro) A brief consult, found out that my retail copy of Windows 10's key will work just fine for 11, so went to MS and had them generate the ISO and convert it to a bootable drive on a 32GB thumb drive. Et voila, I now have Windows 11 24h2 on my new box. Yes, Windows 11 Pro. Still have some tweaking to do but it's up and running as I type this comment.

Thanks for the tutorial!

there are many times these softwares dont work (rufus alongside ventoy), so my best bet is still use a zalman 3000VE? device.
balena etcher is nicer
You can't remove the requirement for the 8th+ gen Intel processor, am I right?
Microsoft denies access to download the iso file for Version 23H2. What to do? Yes, I paid for Win11.I don't have an MS account by design......
ventoy is better'

Yay!..
This is timely. Since Microsoft is threatening to obsolete my Windows 10 PC. I'll just switch it to Linux.
