Used Ventoy to create Windows install media
- It's really neat! You burn Ventoy to the USB stick just once, and it creates a small boot partition with Ventoy on it. The rest of the space is an exFAT partition that you can put ISO files on. So if I need to try another ISO file to install Windows, I just download it directly onto my USB stick, no need to figure out how to burn a Windows ISO. Also I can have multiple ISOs and Ventoy lets me pick which one to boot from at startup. So I can have just one USB stick with Windows install media, NixOS liveboot, etc.
