macOS Installing Ventoy – QuickStart Guide
Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install Ventoy USB Bootable ISO Tool on macOS Desktop.
Ventoy for macOS is an Open Source Tool to create a Bootable USB Drive that supports ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
With Ventoy, there’s no need to reformat the USB every time. You just Copy the Image Files directly to the drive and Boot from them.
You can Copy multiple Image Files at once, and Ventoy provides a Boot Menu to choose from.
You can also Browse and Boot from Local Image Files stored on disk.
Especially relevant: you only need to Install Ventoy Once. After that, simply Copy new ISO files as needed.
Furthermore, the same USB Drive can also be used to Store Files without affecting Ventoy’s functionality.
