In this video, I reveal why Microsoft ended Windows 10 support in October 2025? The answer is simple: they want to rob you of your digital sovereignty. They won't be happy until each and every one ...

Checkout ventoy. It can be used as a multiboot disk so you can try a bunch of distros or have backups of prior releases or even have testing/recovery images like clonezilla or memtest.

MBR is older and might be more compatible with older computers it wouldn't cause any problems, GPT is newer and if your computer was built in the last 10 years you might as well use it.

Doesn't matter anymore since I installed Mint, which btw formatted my drive to GPT afaik.

Like I said, it's still useful for other tools and recovery.

Enjoy Linux.

I discovered Ventoy a couple of months back, and spent far too long trying to work out how to use it to carry portable installations of both Kubuntu and Windows. But nope, can't be done (so far as I can tell). Which is a shame, but hey ho.

But yeah, for carrying around installers it's absolutely bang on.

Sorry to hear you had issues using it that way but it's totally possible and I have a windows 10 ISO on my Ventoy multiboot right now. Almost any ISO file should work in Ventoy assuming its a bootable ISO.

Maybe your issue was you didn't use UEFI which windows might require?

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As in you have a fully operational Windows installation that you can boot into, alongside another fully bootable OS?

Because that would be incredibly useful, but I was damned if could work it out.

I have a multiboot with many bootable ISOs.

Meaning if I want to boot into windows or Ubuntu installation media, I can. This can be used to recover an install or start a new install.

Most Linux install isos are live images that will let you use it like an ephemeral computer, but windows install isos don't do that.

Hmm, I'll have to dig back into it, figure out where I went wrong.
