If you have a spare USB thumb drive, preferably a recent and fast one, 
Ventoy can solve and replace the already mentioned utilities in most 
cases. Just install Ventoy it on the USB drive, copy your downloaded ISO 
files on it like regular file using a file explorer/manager, done.
At boot time you will be presented with the option to boot from any of 
the ISO images, works for me with systems from Debian live, Clonezilla, 
Windows install disks, any other Linux distro I could try.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated to Ventoy, I can't guaranty it'll work 
for you, but it sure does for me ;-)
