The idea is that you install Ventoy onto the USB, then copy the ISO images - Windowses, Linuxes, whatever elses - into the Ventoy mount of the USB partition.
Ventoy is a sophisicated tool to convert a single USB flash drive into a multi-boot device. There are two third party tools for this job: The solution is to use a third party tool that configures the Windows installation ISO image correctly, resulting in a properly-bootable Windows installation USB flash drive. The tools that ship with Linux Mint do not configur the image as Windows 10 requires to be bootable as Windows 10 installation media. For Windows 10, the bootable image must be configured in a particular way by an app that knows precisely what to do. Perhaps this was true in the past, but today it is fake news. Worse, there are numerous websites out there which will tell you that Linux distributions (generally) can create Windows bootable USB flash drive without issue. You'll sit in front of a black screen with a flashing underline cursor in the top-left of the screen, waiting for Christmas. When you poke such USB into a machine, then switch the machine on, the machine will recognise the bootable USB flash drive.
You will be able to create a bootable USB flash drive, but they won't work. Linux Mint's default tools will not tell you that they cannot create Windows installation bootable USB flash drives. Linux Mint, Cinnamon edition, ships with apps Disks (gnome-disk-utility 3.36.3, UDisks 2.8.4) and a USB Image Writer embedded in Nemo 4.8.6. This is because Windows images have specific configuration that the typical Linux disk image writer wouldn't typically want to know about.Īs at Oct 2021, this applies to Linux Mint. Linux distributions generally don't create bootable images of Windows installation ISOs.
