Universal USB Installer (UUI) is an open-source live Linux USB flash drive creation software. It allows users to create a bootable live USB flash drive using an ISO image from a supported Linux distribution, antivirus utility, system tool, or Microsoft Windows installer. The USB boot software can also be used to make Windows 8, 10, or 11 run entirely from USB.

  • Optionally create a persistent file for saving changes made from the running environment back to the flash drive.
  • Can be used to create a Windows Setup or Windows To Go USB.
  • Provides additional information regarding each distribution, including category, website URL, and download link for quick reference
  • Use formatting methods that allow the USB flash drive to remain accessible for other storage purposes
