What happened?

It would be cool to load Ventoy as bootloader from internal drive (without format) to boot any iso you want, so you have Ventoy installed and permenantly forget something called USB drive.

Internal drive? Dont do it, even Ventoy have a Non desructive mode, cause it will confusing BIOS where he will select the EFI file during boot process, except your BIOS have another mechanism for make another chainload EFI file and u must RECOMPILE the Ventoy source manually

Don't we have option to move/re-arrangement EFI entries? We can make Ventoy second boot entry instead of first via BIOS or Bootice (if we installed Ventoy on internal drive)

Don't we have option to move/re-arrangement EFI entries? The VTOYEFI partition will be created when there is free space after the first partition, whereas in Windows there are several partitions including EFI, MSR, Recovery, then the system partition, so it no longer meets the requirements for Non-destructive mode and re-arrange the EFI is useless. (more here).

make Ventoy second boot entry instead of first via BIOS or Bootice Might u can do it, but i dont be expected will work or not, since u really need to recompile Ventoy source
