Ventoy 1.0.31

Ventoy

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way. Most type of OS supported (Windows/WinPE/Linux/Unix/Vmware/Xen...)

Notes:

The install program Ventoy2Disk.exe has not been updated for some releases. It seems that it has been added to the whitelist of anti-virus software vendors. But Ventoy2Disk.exe is updated in this release, so there may be some false positives again.
