I used ventoy to create a Win10 install USB, but there were a couple of
issues I'm not entirely clear on.

1) When I was creating the USB, it said to copy the WIn 10 ISO file system
to the flash drive.  I (mis?)iinterpreted that to mean to copy the actual
files, not the ISO image - which is it?

2) Since the Win files are on the drive, I'm not sure how to add other
installs.  If the answer to #1 is copy the whole ISO image, that explains
it.  If not, ???

I'm brand new at this stuff - I did it once before, but I did not record
the method I used and the flash drive was lost (long irrelevant story).

I tried to use mkusb to create a bootable live (persistent) Xubuntu USD
drive and that drive doesn't boot at all - probably another goof of mine,
but I'll take ventoy as soon as I understand what I did wrong.

Thanks.
