If you’re like most people, you probably have a USB drive full of different operating systems. You can use it to boot multiple OSes from it, or you can use it as a storage drive for your software and data. But what if you want to keep all your OSes on one USB drive? That’s where this tool comes in. The tool is called “USB Boot Manager,” and it can help you do just that. It’s a small program that sits on your computer and starts up all the OSes on the USB drive at once. It’s easy to use, and it works with both Windows and MacOS. So if you’re looking for an easy way to keep all your OSes on one USB drive, look no further than “USB Boot Manager.”
Booting a PC into a Windows installer, Linux distribution, or other CD/USB image usually requires wiping a USB drive and overwriting it with one image at a time. That means using several USB drives if you want to keep around install/recovery images for multiple operating systems. Ventoy solves this problem with a multi-boot setup — once it is installed on a USB drive, you can copy as many ISO images as you want to a single flash drive using any file manager, and then select the one you want at startup.
Ventoy 1.0.84 was just released, which has two main changes. First, you can now switch languages in the boot menu by pressing the L key. The tool also now works with drives formatted as FAT32 with a capacity of 32 GB or more. That means you can have more drives formatted as FAT32, ensuring they work for transferring files with just about any operating system, while also using them as a multi-boot drive. However, FAT32 can’t store files larger than 4 GB in size, which might not be enough for some bootable system images.
You can learn more about Ventoy and try it out from the project’s official website. I’ve been using it for a while, and not having to constantly overwrite flash drives (or use a special writing tool each time) is definitely handy.
