Both cases, it is more work than what you're objecting.
"you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly" - Can you explain what specifically is painful about this process?
- rblatz 6y agoWith Windows you just copy paste the contents of the iso over to the usb. I just completed a ryzen build last week and expected to need special software to build a bootable usb. Microsoft’s documentation told me that I didn’t and to just format as NTFS, mark the partition active and copy/paste the iso. That’s all it takes today.
- pseudalopex 6y agoOnly if your firmware supports NTFS.
- fermienrico 6y agoSure, that makes sense. What I don't understand is why is it more difficult than dragging a single .iso file to the usb drive?
- rblatz 6y agoWell the tricky part is knowing about this tool. Both are relatively easy, and both are easier than finding a custom tool that burns the iso to a usb.
