Alternatively, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/create-windows-11-24h2-usb-unsupported-pc\/\">the Rufus tool<\/a> to perform the same task but with more customization options. Although these tools work as advertised, the problem is that you have to repeatedly reformat the flash drive to update the installation files or change the operating system.<\/p>\n<p>Ventoy is a piece of software that installs on a flash drive to make it bootable. Once the device is bootable, you only have to upload the ISO (or WIM, IMG, VHDX, or EFI) files you want to use without extracting them. When you start the computer with the USB flash drive, the system will boot into the Ventoy software. While in this interface, you can choose the image you want to launch. If a new version of the ISO becomes available, you can replace it or keep both versions of the image in the same bootable flash drive.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Windows 11, Ventoy will even apply the necessary workarounds to bypass the hardware requirements, enabling you to install the operating system on virtually any computer.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I&#8217;ll\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box;
