Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. Using Ventoy, we can create live USB for multiple distros in one flash disk. This is a revolutionary feature compared to other tools, e.g., Etcher, Rufus, etc, that can only create one live USB at a time. This tool is so important. Don't call yourself a distro hopper if you don't know this tool.

I'm thinking you mean Ventoy? They say they can load vhd and img files, though I've only tried ISO's myself.

I faced it too. There is a PR on the ventoy GitHub repository that fixes Proxmox boot.

How to Boot ISO Files from GRUB2 Boot Loader
> While this works, I find this method a bit tedious to use, at least compared to Ventoy [0].
I find ventoy more tedious, because you can't use it on your hard drive with a sane partitioning scheme.
The only reason is because of how the ventoy detection hardcode the partition boundaries in its checks, and it means Ventoy can only run with the partitions set in a way that may lead to alignment issues like write-amplification: I've detailed that in https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/1342
Ideally I'd have a 10G partition after the EFI (or it could even be the EFI itself) with a few ISOs for rescue purposes + a UEFI entry to avoid having to use a bootable USB, but that's not possible with Ventoy unless I accept Ventoy choices of partition boundaries:

Booting from a bootable USB flash stick?
I downloaded and made a bootable USB Ventoy (https://www.ventoy.net) with its Windows GUI app in my updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC. However, I couldn't seem to get VirtualBox v7.0.12 to boot it. I read VirtualBox can boot from bootable USB flash sticks so it should work. Am I missing something?

Attempt Q4OS install on Netbook, BUT "unable to install grub in /dev/sda"...solutions?
So, yes. The installer will need to install grub to that first partition. You can install ventoy to a usb drive, put a windows iso there and your q4os iso. In case you mess up big time, you can reinstall windows.

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a motherboard that doesn't have CSM Support?
and the article mentions something potential helpful: https://github.com/manatails/uefiseven

Looking for recent motherboards that have CSM (compatibility support module) option...
If you absolutely need Win 7 support there's a project called uefiseven, last time I tried it on my 2600X and RX 580 I couldn't get it to boot sadly.

Windows 7 refuses to cooperate with a very simple task (spoiler alert, to just install itself)
Windows 7 doesn’t fully support pure UEFI ootb from my understanding, all the boot related rules are confusing. Try using this: https://github.com/manatails/uefiseven Tried this and it works on an old UEFI Razer Blade 0116. Good luck to you

i tried to install windows 7 ultimate on my laptop ended up here help
If you don't mind about UEFI, you can switch to Legacy on BIOS and boot again the DVD/USB; or if you want to use UEFI, you must use uefiseven to replace bootmgfw.efi in UEFI shell.
-
Just out of interest, what is the oldest computer that is physically able to run the very first release of Windows?
Without someone creating a UEFI app to implement the legacy BIOS services, it won't work without CSM. Some people actually implemented the BIOS VGA functions so Windows 7 could run on such UEFI boards(the generic video driver relies on legacy BIOS functions even in UEFI mode).
