Surely you have noticed that when you start your computer, it often displays the Windows logo. So is that logo customizable?

The answer is yes and in this article TipsMake.com will show you how to do it with detailed video instructions.

Part 1: Some notes

Before starting the installation, I have a few notes for you:

  1. You need to have a basic knowledge of Windows because the installation process does not always go smoothly.
  2. This method works with both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
  3. You should check System Information, if the machine already has UEFI, then proceed with the installation. If you do not have UEFI, you need to install UEFI first.
