Thanks, and the screenshot added to the question. Could I ask you to take a look at the pic? This "magic" thumb drive added an option to partition the hdd. This seems to have been the problem for UEFI installs as I understand. Of course, GParted on Linux would do the same. Absolutely, even from a trusted source, it's still a bit iffy to use a tool just handed to you. You never know for sure.

Yes, this looks to be the OEM DM channel. I ran a truncated version of the command you suggested and omitted the cscript bit. I'm more reasonably satisified for my purposes. Definitely open to more information, links, or context, of course.

Partitioning is not a problem in itself; Windows already creates 3-4 partitions during install time (one of which is actually mandatory for EFI), and the standard Windows install process always has the screen where you can create or delete partitions; that's not necessarily a custom addition.

I might've not used Ventoy correctly -- but I did get an install screen. Just no partitioning or formatting options. Certainly something to revisit.
