I have used it, yes. You need to download the ISO files to the USB drive
and put them in a folder. Ventoy is useful, but I discovered it doesn't
launch the Windows 11 ISO gracefully, so I had to stop using it for that
application.
I find it somewhat foolish that you paid money for it. It's a free utility
on GitHub. If your son was to support the project, in the future, please
just donate directly to the project on GitHub and leave bloodsucking 3rd
party middlemen on eBay out of it.
