How To Change Boot Logo In Windows 10

Today, I am going to share with you a tutorial which will allow you to change the boot logo of Windows 10 and replace it with some custom logo. This is a process during which Windows is loading the required system files to get the OS up and running. Swapping this boot logo with a custom image of your choice isn’t a new concept, and there have been tons of tools available for the purpose for pretty much every version of Windows so far. However, most of these existing tools don’t yet support Windows 10. You can replace the default boot logo of Windows quickly and easily.
