Multiboot USB

WinsetupfromUSB is the best.

Yumi is simple to add and remove entries to the USB. It also has link for many of the sources. I always go back to using Yumi. Keep the Yumi program on the flash drive because new versions of Yumi may not be compatible with the USB build and you may not be able to add or remove programs without it. Honestly, Yumi is a great solution.

MobaLiveCD is good for boot testing. Run as admin. and allow (or not) to create virtual drive.

Image: I have not found a good way to image a USB drive to copy the builds unless you are using the same size drive. For example, if you image a 2GB USB and copy to 8GB only 2GB is usable. Sometimes you can just copy the files over and it works.

MultibootUSB also works great to test boot of the USB.

32GB is just enough but 64 would be better for everything I want plus useful space.
Kaspersky Rescue Disk is a must have.
Ultra Virus Killer is also a must but must run under Windows.
--Download and run Hitman Pro but also must run under Windows
Liberkey with all the programs you want for Windows.
Linux Mint
Windows Install
Hirens
Falcon 4
Snappy Driver Installer with data base. This thing is magic for driver installs and updates but huge.
 Programs:
SpaceMonger
JKDefrag
OneClick Installer 3
UltimateWindowsTweaker UWT


If you are having trouble zeroing out a USB previously crated try ImageUSB. This can also make a single boot USB of ISO or img files. Sometimes a formatted USB will not show all the space and this can fix it.

Curl, Wget, Winget & Powershell Install or Download Commands

After the mess I made in previous posts this summary might be useful.     Thanks PatchMyPC, the great and powerful program downloader and up...
