I tried using AIO boot and Ventoy but I can't find something that works with real hardware Ventoy is just stuck on incompatible license while AIO boot does work but can't load the ISO on it as it said error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0 unless I use grub4dos then it boots but still can't go to grub2 I like something that's mainly like Ventoy or AIO boot that works in legacy bios I don't care much about UEFI and yes thars Rufus but ill like something that can load more than one ISO as an option

So F10 doesn't work https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005672/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards.html

You may need to use Rufus in mbr mode only.
