Two things come to mind:
1) Your firmware settings should be set to boot from the drive that will NORMALLY be booted, not the USB Flash drive. When you boot to install, your machine will have a hot key to press to force the firmware to present a boot menu - a one time override; select the target Ventoy flash drive.
2) When you get your Firmware Boot Menu, if your Firmware is UEFI, you'll have two choices - booting Ventoy in UEFI mode or BIOS Compatibility mode. Ventoy in turn boots the ISO in the same mode you booted it in. So Windows install will boot in either UEFI or BIOS mode. If UEFI, the drive you are installing Windows onto must be partitioned GPT. If BIOS, the drive must be partitioned MBR. You can erase the drive entirely when you start the Windows install.
