The boot logo though is not as easy as changing the wallpaper or even the Windows login screen. The manufacturer doesn’t want you to change the logo. Although, Windows is a pretty popular platform. When a lot of developers have something, somebody will always find a way to change the Windows 10 boot logo. That is how we have this nifty tool called HackBGRT. It lets you change the Windows UEFI boot logo.

HackBGRT is a little complicated to use. Also, you’re not using it to change wallpapers. Remember, Windows is an OS that might fail to boot when you try as much as installing an icon pack. Changing the UEFI Boot logo is something at another level. It’s our duty to let you know that if you do proceed with using this tool your PC might fail to boot. It is unlikely if you’ve followed the guide below carefully but still very possible. We recommend creating a recovery media first or at least a system restore point. You can create a Windows system restore point and use it to restore your PC.

HackBGRT also creates a backup of the bootloader for such situations. We’ll show you how to use that as well.

HackBGRT only supports UEFI systems and is not meant to work on anything else. If you’ve bought your computer recently, it is more than likely to support UEFI. If you’re running a dual boot setup, you’re most probably using the Legacy bootloader, in which case you can’t use this tool. You must also make sure Secure Boot is disabled. This can be done in the BIOS menu accessing which is different, depending on the manufacturer of your PC.
