Ventoy Reviews

Ventoy is THE BEST tool to create a bootable usb drive.

I've been using this for my need for about a year now, it works great

Ventoy is absolutely great! Just a few wishes: [1] a 32 bit version of the ventoy-{version}-livecd.iso; [2] an option to add a 5GB FAT32 /dev/sda3 data partition (useful for transporting or storing files); [3] an option to add a 2GB /dev/sda4 swap partition (old 32 bit systems would benefit) Note, that "normal" users aren't able to use gParted to change the partition schema to their needs.

This tool is excellent for booting my ISO's! even better if i want to pack any Windows To Go installation on here using VHD, theres a plugin to allow VHD boot. The interface when you boot into it is very easy to use. Installing/removing Ventoy is easy, even better is that Ventoy supports Secure Boot and MBR/GPT partitions.

Very nice and useful. Thanks and thumbs up to the developer.

Excellent, using it for years and new versions continue to improve

This is so perfect. I can't believe I went my whole life without this.

It would not work with Asus Vivobook S with ARM64 to install Windows 11. In about 33 years of using software, Ventoy is up there in being the all-time worst application. It is difficult to install and configure, instructions are confusing and very hard to remove from flash drive.

very usefull software

Wow, talk about easy to use! I didn't think something like this existed.

This is exactly what I've been looking for years!

needed to rebuild a workstation with Windows 11. Been using Rufus and then started reading into how Ventoy works. I installed it on a USB device and was able to flawlessly boot with the Windows 10 ISO and get it completed. Left secure boot on in the BIOS and still worked like a champ.

I dunno why the only One-Star-Guy "genealogypro" gave it only that! lol (Maybe hes the 1% doing something so skewed off of normal use....) Its a great tool and only rarely failed to boot one of my ISOs. Indispensable!

no bad

Excellent thanks for the tool

I downloaded this expecting I could create a multi-boot flash drive that would have, in particular, Knoppix for its preloaded formatting and other formatting tools, and Kubuntu to allow me to continue thru Virtual Machine to run my many Windows programs thus eliminate any need to upgrade that OS to keep internet access, when any upgrade would be incompatible with the majority of my software. Since exFat is the best format for iso files, I so formatted a flash drive then tried to install a copy of Ventoy I had already downloaded to the same. I got multiple error messages about a missing drive that took considerable effort to stop. Once I stopped the error messages, I opened the flash drive in Explorer, only to discover the drive was being reported as having an unknown capacity and unformatted/UNFORMATTABLE! Two of my other computers reported the same results, with one of those machines having W10 as its OS, my reason for buying it was for it to be the first of my computers I would convert to Kubuntu with minimal risk since there was NOTHING on the machine I want to keep. A 4th computer did not even SEE the drive. That computer is a KFocus with Kubuntu 24.04 on it I had expected the opposite with the KFocus, as I have yet to encounter a Linux flavor that will not more quickly see drives, if not, files, that Microsoft Windows cannot, and for that reason, have frequently used Linux to repair damaged Windows (.chk) files, usually needing only to open the file in an editor, save the same, then change the file extension from .chk to whatever the original format may have been. I would not recommend this to anyone based upon my experiences

The best USB boot utility! For 20 years of work I have never met a more necessary program!

Incredible tech! I was even able to boot into it from my encrypted external SSD drive from my laptop which has secure boot enabled. Effortlessly lets you boot and run basically anything, in any format, from anywhere... while keeping all your tools on a single external SSD all at once.

Does exactly what you need it to do.

Ventoy has become an important tool in my debugging toolkit, as it allows me to store my memtest86+, Windows, linux and MacOS recovery images in one place, and not have to pick just one.

Great way to choose a Linux distro. All you need to do is copy the Linux iso to the USB drive, boot the USB, and Ventoy will load it. No need to constantly reformat and reload the USB.

I used this product before ever even coming to source forge. After trying a multi boot stick using linux , YUMI . I was left researching the best method to do this. I now have several - multi boot , plug - in - ready , boot drives , with multiple OS's , I can readily and easily boo t into if needed. This is ABSOLUTELY , POSITIVELY THE BEST MULTIBOOT TOOL IN THE WORLD at the moment in my opinion , ty.

Out of all the multiboot apps this is by far the easiest. I used to use another app, it had its day but with he advent of nearly every PC booting EFI exclusively it actually relied on Ventoy and another app aGFM to make EFI booting work. So I started over and used Ventoy only. It is very simple to setup, quick and easy to update. You can also make a few changes on it using the supplied VentoyPlugson.exe app to allow you to sort your ISO files in ANY folder structure you want. It boots quickly too. It boots every Linux, backup recovery and Windows install ISO I have put on it.

I use this tool all the time now...I used to use unetbootin and universal USB installer or YUMI for multiple OSs on a disk or Rufus or etcher all those tools are great but none of them are as handy as ventoy...with ventoy I can creat a USB drive with a massive partition for many ISOs(Im a system technician so I have needs beyond those of your average user lol) I need windows,Linux,MacOS, and some times freedos to be able to effectively service the wide veriaty of my clientele, be that Enterprise or consumer systems and this tool allows me to do that efficiently and with little messing around...I currently have a 256gb usb3.2 SSD setup with a massive ISOs partition that holds all the iso I could ever need and still have a large section on the drive for a persistent Area I use this for a full Manjaro xfce install that I can use to go grab new ISOs and drop them into the ventoy partition for later use and to also act as my shared storage that is accessable and writeable from any of the ISOs live environments...in all my years of trying all of these "pendrive" type tools NONE of them come close to the veriaty of capabilities that ventoy has, it supports every archetecture iv tryed it on be that 64bit, 32bit, uefi, legacy, name it it works. Iv even had some success with arm based systems albeit kind of in conveluted ways as many of these devices need to be imaged from another environment but ventoy allows me to do that fairly easily...I can't express enough how invaluable this tool has been for me and my little business...I highly recommend it and if anyone else is as well served by this tool as I am I just ask that you try to help support the creator either by spreading awareness of this software or by direct donations or both, I can't imagine this kind of tool is easy to creat and maintain and we want, nay need more like it😁
