+====== Create USB bootable Windows install using Ventoy ======
+Install Windows using some virtualization tool (I tested using Virtualbox as it has VHD support builtin). \\
+Make sure you boot it fully after installation to make sure everything is installed. \\
+Install [[https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html|Ventoy]] to USB drive. \\
+Then reformat the "Ventoy" partition in NTFS (needed for support to boot VHD files). \\
+Install the [[https://github.com/ventoy/vhdiso/releases|VHDISO]] plugin to Ventoy by copying ventoy_vhdboot.img to a folder named "ventoy". \\
+See instructions here [[https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_vhdboot.html]] \\
+Copy the VHD image from the newly installed windows to the "ventoy" NTFS formatted partition. \\
+Done.
