Why have I wasted time flashing USB drives to install Windows (and Linux) on PCs when I could have been doing this all along?

Toshiba USB Drive.

The savior, thy name is Ventoy. Apologies in advance to everyone who has known about this incredibly useful tool, this post isn't for you. This post is for everyone else who, like me, has been wasting their time flashing USB bootable installers onto flash drives to install Windows 11 or Linux onto various pieces of hardware.

There's absolutely no need for it, at least in a personal environment, and having discovered how game changing Ventoy is in this situation I quite literally want to shout it from the rooftops.
