# Change Boot Logo
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important:**\
If you mess up the installation, your system may become unbootable! This software comes with no warranty. Use at your own risk.
* Make sure that your computer is booting with UEFI (Very likely that you do)
* Make sure that BitLocker is disabled, or find your recovery key.
* Create a full backup or a rescue disk before making any changes to the Windows boot logo. The backup or rescue disc helps you restore Windows if something goes wrong and you are unable to boot.

## # First Time Installation
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
#### Download "HackBGRT"
To change the boot logo, we will use an open-source application called HackBGRT. Here’s how to use it.
1. Go to the [HackBGRT GitHub](https://github.com/Metabolix/HackBGRT/releases)
2. Download the **latest release ZIP file**.
3. Extract it to desktop/folder of your choice
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Using HackBGRT
1. Open the extracted folder, right-click on the **setup.exe** file, and select the **Run as administrator**\
\ 
2. It will open the app in command-line tool.\
\- **Press the i key** on your keyboard to proceed with a first time installation\
\- **Press the B key** to boot to UEFI setup where you can disable Secure Boot\
\
Additional:\
If you've set the boot logo already, and want to modify it, p**ress the F key** on your keyboard to modify the installation\
\ 
3. After you press a key, it will open the paint app
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Setting the logo
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**
* You **cannot** set GIFs or transparent images as the new boot logo.
* Keep the background of the logo black as transparency is not supported. Therefore, the new logo doesn’t look out of place on the black background of the boot screen.
* The image should not be bigger than 300 x 300 pixels. While the size is not a strict requirement, it ensures that you will not face problems while setting the new boot logo.
{% endhint %}
1. In Paint, click on the **File** > **Import from Canvas** > **From file** option. Now, find the image you want to set as the new Windows boot logo, select it, and click on the **Open** button.
2. If you want, you can resize the image by clicking on the **Resize** button.
3. Once you are done, click **File** > **Save** to save the file. After saving, close the Paint application.
4. Press a key to exit the cmd window.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
