+Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/EFI files. <br/>
+With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot it.   
+You can copy many iso files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. <br/> 
+Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way.<br/>
+Both MBR and GPT partition style are supported in the same way.<br/>
+Most type of OS supported(Windows/WinPE/Linux/Unix/Vmware/Xen...), 470+ ISO files are tested.  <br/>
+A "Ventoy Compatible" concept is introduced by ventoy, which can help to support any ISO file.
