Thanks for that recipe, though I went a slightly different road but the key was using VirtualBox. This is how I got Windows To Go to Boot via Ventoy from a working Windows 10:
- Use diskmgmt.msc and create a fixed size VHD with at least 16GB
- Use Rufus and a Windows 10 ISO to create a WTG install into that VHD in MBR Mode (don't forget to unmount VHD from diskmgmt.msc after Rufus completes)
- Use VirtualBox (I used Portable-VirtualBox) to create a Windows 10 VM, use the VHD and Boot it with default settings
- When the Windows 10 OOBE setup starts (language selection and stuff), stop VM
- Put the VHD on the NTFS formatted Ventoy ISO partition and the ventoy_vhdboot.img into the ventoy folder on the same partition
- Windows To Go boots via Ventoy in UEFI boot just fine!
