Ventoy is great, but....
It takes a few more steps to setup than Rufus, and you still have to set the right boot mode
The tool OP already has should work so there's no need to send him to download another piece of software if he can complete the task with what he has.
@w2tpmf ventoy is as easy to set up as any other Boot-Stick-tool and has the great advantage that you can copy as many ISOs on your stick as there is space and you can still use it for other files... imho
I know exactly how it works. I use it every day. I never said it isnt easy. I said it's more steps to set it up.
Rufus: run exe, pick iso, run it
Ventoy: run exe to install it, run it to configure the drive, copy ISOs over to the drive
For setting up a drive that's going to be used repeatedly and continually changing what's on it, Ventoy is the superior tool.
For a one time use to quickly get a ISO over to a USB... Rufus is quicker and gets the job done.
...and again...OP already has Rufus in hand. There's no reason to get another piece of software that doesn't offer any advantage to OP's task.
@w2tpmf Ventoy is a one time setup. After that you can throw any ISO on it and just reboot...
But you are right and we are on the same boat :mastolove:
I literally just wrote out how it works and you are repeating it back like it's new information 😆
