The power of Ventoy cannot contain Windows
which is ironic because afaik ventoy is the only way to make a windows installer from linux
huh??
you can just flash/dd the iso directly, no need for ventoy
It's not possible to dd a Windows ISO to a USB stick.

Thanks for the info, good read
That didn't work for me the last time I tried it (and neither did Ventoy). I had to borrow a Windows PC and use the media creation tool.
I've literally never used the media creation tool, i always installed windows from isos flashed with rufus/balena/dd/whatever
Aren't Rufus and balena media creation tools?
by media creation tool, i mean specifically the proprietary "Windows Media Creation Tool" that can be downloaded from the Microsoft website
damn, really? i thought windows had some weird stuff that wouldnt work properly with dd. doesnt really matter. i have no need for windows anyways
It's certainly not, there are other iso to USB drive tools for Linux. But the only way to make a Windows To Go USB from Linux is with rufus on a Windows VM with USB passthrough.
Nah man, before ventoy was created there was this one https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB
Akchually, before ventoy was created everyone used this to do what you're talking about https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB
