I've discorvered Ventoy a couple of months ago and since that day literally everone in our IT departement uses it. I think I'll add a theme to mine, didn't knew that was possible

Your videos are so great. Rapid fire, high info, crystal clear delivery, with no extra crap. Don't ever change!

Just when I thought USB boot drives couldn't get any better... Thio uploads this

Tip for manually changing the theme:
(1) You need to have the "ventoy.json" in the "ventoy" folder under the root.
(2) After that, you need to remove the initial "ventoy/" out of the theme location. It's already looking from "/ventoy".
Otherwise, you're effectively pointing it to "ventoy/ventoy/themes/.../theme.txt", since it's already in "/ventoy" and you've included a second "ventoy/" in the directory location.

Too Long, Too Confusing:
Fix test for the custom modification at 7:56 :
"
{
"theme": {
"file": "themes/Vimix/theme.txt"
}
}
"

This is definitely going to be useful to use! I've been using Rufus with one ISO at a time, which is convenient, but also inconvenient. It could easily store more than one thing. That's amazing how it simplifies putting ISOs on there!

Finally, someone that shows how to setup Ventoy step-by-step. I've been planning to setup me up an USB like this, but haven't had time. Did it once before, but not everything worked.

I've been using Ventoy for a couple of months. This video covers many features I didn't know about. A fantastic utility. Twenty-three years ago, I bought a PC with a 8Gig HD. Now a 128Gig USB drive costs $40, a small fraction.

The most good thing is that, after install ventoy on usb stick I can use the big partition as my iso bank as well as a normal usb stick for daily use.

[mukuldev]

this is so cool, i didn't know anything like this existed, i literally have 5 usb drives for different ISOs, total game changer for me!

[BhaskertheRoboman]

Thank you so much. This is so useful. I just made this, absolutely love it

[markoradic]

Thank you - great video with all details, no fuss, just perfect!

[redpheonix]

What a coincidence that I spent the afternoonc researching, creating and testing a Ventoy USB drive, and then you came out with this video which got recommended to me! I thought this was at least a year old already!

And yes, it works like a charm. For multibooting there is also YUMI, but I had issues with that program when trying to have Hiren's Boot PE and the Windows 10 installer on the same drive.

[masterofyeet]

I remember when you used to do those satirical tech vids, glad to see the improvement and quality from your past. Keep up the good work my guy.

[c.rosenfeld]

Hey! your videos are very helpful for me lately! Keep it up!

[icedeep]

Very helpful. Especially with secure boot. Thank you and the community.

[achillesa]

Worth noting that you can also store files just fine in a ventoy drive, which is really useful for me because I have a bunch of small windows tweaks, auto hotkey scripts and stuff that I'd want to keep handy. Good video!

[isdzul]

This....is really helpful and saving me a lot of times and costs. I currently have 12 usb drive and different boot. Really appreciated to you and community who introduce this.

[newtongitauh]

Now this is exactly what I needed. Thanks for a well detailed video.

[jeffsmith]

YES!!! Thank you for the video and thank you to the folks that pointed out Ventoy in the first place.

[gamesest]

Super helpful honestly, uploaded at the same time where I was about to buy a laptop. Now I can diagnose if there's any problems. Thank you!
