Works perfectly as intended, never faced a problem testing it on Windows with multiple Linux distros, just amazing! MultiBootUSB is built with sophisticated clean technologies (like Python, PyQt) and packs all its fantastic features in an incredibly impressive size of under 80 MB (as of version 9.2.0) ( balenaEtcher icon balenaEtcher, on the other hand is around 300MB!).

One of the distinctive and most useful features in this little software is the integrated QEMU icon QEMU emulator which allows users to test ISO files and boot USB driver instantly right inside a separate emulation window without the need to reboot your computer! I can't stress enough how awesome and handy this feature is!

Working well for me though I haven't had luck with the QEMU emulator. Install Syslinux confuses me. Looking at another program "Live USB Install", it will let you install from Internet too. Another great one is Ventoy which will let you multiboot using ISO images so that you don't even have to install the image.

Has worked all the time so far. Never had any problems with multiple Windows (8,7,10) and Linux flavours on a single USB.

Brilliant!

But on it's website there's no mention of supporting booting any version of Windows. Which is distinct from using the MultiBootUSB software in Windows.

If you could share more details about your experience with Windows booted by MultiBootUSB prepared USBs, it would be a lot more helpful.

Full fledge tool for bootable USB creation (including testing with qemu!), not just a dd frontend like Etcher and others.

You are probably doing something wrong. This is no fault of the program. I do not think this is a fair review.

Windows won't boot in QEMU without a lot of molly-coddling
