### An alternative to making a windows boot img that does not require a physical usb flash drive
- Physical USB is not needed but external system is mandatory
- Create Ventoy image (on Ubuntu x86 machine) (Unaware of a windows version)
```
dd if=/dev/zero of=ventoy.img bs=1M count=4700 status=progress
```
- This makes a ventoy.img file, I would name this what it is EX: ventoy_win10.img
- At the same time, download Media Creation Tool and select iso
- On the Ubuntu machine
- At the time of this, it was 1.0.51, change to latest version
```
wget https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/download/v1.0.51/ventoy-1.0.51-linux.tar.gz
tar zxvf ventoy-1.0.51-linux.tar.gz
sudo losetup -f ventoy.img
sudo losetup -l | grep ventoy (To locate which loop device was used)
sudo losetup /dev/loopXX ventoy.img
sudo sh ~/ventoy-1.0.51/Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/loopXX (This will make a loopXXp1 and a loopXXp2 and will format both partitions
cd /media/XXX (Usually your login)
mkdir ventoy
sudo mount /dev/loopXXp1 /media/XXX/ventoy
```
- Either cp over the .iso you downloaded from the Media tool or a NFS mount
```
sudo cp windows.iso /media/whatever/ventoy
sudo umount /dev/loopXX
sudo losetup -d /dev/loopXX
```
ssh into the Ubuntu system (Or whatever OS you are using)
- On Pi-KVM
```
cd /var/lib/kvmd/msd
mount -o remount,rw .
```
- On Ubuntu
```
scp ventoy.img root@pikvm:/var/lib/kvmd/msd/images
```
- On Pi-KVM
```
touch /var/lib/kvmd/msd/meta/ventoy.img.complete
```
- Mount ventoy.img as normal flash and select the PIKVM boot device, it should popup with the VenToy logo with the window.iso as a selection

### Can you use an iPad on PiKVM?
- Yes, with the correct hardware you can control an iPad
- Yes, activate VNC and use JUMP app(Full featured but more expensive), or bVNC(Not recommended, lack luster features but cheap). RealVNC does NOT work
