The second part explains that improved performance may justify the cost of an NVMe SSD and a compatible USB drive enclosure. The first part of this story introduces and explains Ventoy. My technique relies on a special foundational tool called Ventoy, along with a collection of ISO files from which Ventoy will boot a Windows PC. This kind of setup works splendidly with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 installations. Interested in building your own? You just need a modestly sized (256GB or 512GB) USB drive and the right software. I keep all these tools on a single USB drive that I like to call the ultimate bootable Windows repair drive. These could be related to hardware problems, Windows updates gone bad, device or driver issues, and a whole lot more. They help me restart, troubleshoot, and - if necessary - repair Windows installations that are having difficulties. I’ve learned to keep a collection of useful Windows tools and repair environments around.
