Ventoy has just rolled out its latest update, sharpening its compatibility with the newest Secure Boot changes. Shortly after, Rufus unveiled the definitive 4.15 release.
For those who may not be familiar, both Ventoy and Rufus act as third‑party alternatives to Microsoft’s official Media Creation Tool, allowing users to craft bootable USB installers. The real advantage of these tools is their ability to bypass Windows 11 installation restrictions, even enabling the OS to be installed on systems that Microsoft would otherwise consider unsupported—an approach we highlighted in our recent coverage.
Additional refinements accompany these core fixes, further enhancing the overall user experience.
The update can be downloaded from the official GitHub repository or via Neowin’s software stories page.
