Step 2: Prepare Your USB Drive

  • Confirm the installation when prompted. This will format the USB drive and install Ventoy.

Step 4: Add ISO Files

• Simply drag and drop your ISO files into this partition.
• You can add multiple ISO files as needed.

Step 5: Boot from the USB Drive

• Insert the USB drive into the computer you want to boot from.
• Restart the computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2, F12, Delete, or Esc during startup).
• Change the boot order to prioritize USB devices.
• Save the settings and exit.
• Upon booting, you will see the Ventoy menu with a list of your ISO files. Select the desired ISO to start the installation or recovery process.
