I threw Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Mint, and Ubuntu on there, and everything booted up fine at the start. I managed to get through the initial stages on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 until it hits that part where it asks you to pick an installation partition. I don't have a spare machine lying around right now to run through the entire setup process from start to finish, but honestly, this feels like the only way to make it work for now.

The site actually provides instructions—first, you load up Windows 7 and Linux using the format option,
then later on, you can just toss in whatever else you want by simply unchecking that format box...
Of course, it all comes down to how much room you have left on the stick if you want to keep adding more OS installers.

Thanks, @Tarantula67

I used YUMI for my own USB too, and man, it is incredibly annoying that you can't just pack in two different versions of Windows 7 or anything newer. The only workaround I found was using the all-in-on version where they bundle the 32-bit and 64-bit versions into a single ISO, though I still need to put that through its paces to be sure. 🤣 Another thing that bugs me—and the reason I'm quoting this—is that when YUMI handles a Windows 7 install, it dumps a bunch of files right into the USB root directory, like "setup.exe" and stuff. I really hate that, especially if I ever end up lending the drive to someone else. 😁 How does WinSetupFromUSB handle the file structure? Does it do the same thing, or is it a bit more efficient about keeping those installation files tucked away from the regular storage area? And is the workflow the same—can you use it as a standard flash drive without having to mess around with manual partitions? 😁

It’s going to be summer soon, so you’ll run into her again 👍

Thanks for the heads-up! 😁 I actually went ahead and installed the latest build (version 8.0.555.0 (68000)) directly from their site before seeing these replies... the only hiccup I ran into when I first fired it up was that error message mentioned on the page William Kim9 linked (failed to start because d3dx9_43.dll was not found), though it somehow kept running just fine... I noticed you're using the 7.0 version (assuming that's your screenshot)... Is there any actual advantage to that one over this newer build? I jumped straight onto WOT once I got the browser running, and then added Tampermonkey for the scripts 😁 As for settings—is there anything specific I should tweak on this version, or is everything already optimized in that portable build you mentioned? My data usage is pretty tight, so even losing 35 MB feels like a hit to my wallet 😁 Honestly, this might become my new daily driver; it’s got an integrated adblocker, and I’ve already cleaned up that adblock.ini list 😁
And one more thing—it doesn't force those constant Google updates on you anymore (which, let's face it, absolutely hammers a machine running on only 512 MB of RAM 😬 ))

Sorry for digging up this ancient thread—I know, I know, it’s been forever—but I was just sitting here wondering if anyone actually still uses this thing? Is it honestly still a solid alternative to Google Chrome, or has it become a relic of the past?🍿

Look, any decent video converter out there is completely free, and honestly, it gives him everything he actually needs 🤷

I use Handbrake for basically everything 🙂--it just gets the job done, you know?
