We have an embedded device which uses Windows 8.1 Industry Pro OS. I want to change the windows boot logo image to custom logo. Is it possible to change the windows boot logo? Please explain the procedure.

There is no offical article regarding to this...

First you need to have full access to the following file. This file is where the boot logo is stored:

 C:\Windows\Boot\Resources\bootres.dll

Here are two links for how to change the boot logo, involving some useful tools, do it carefully to avoid problems for your system:

As per your reply, we need to crack bootres.dll for custom logo. Since it is DLL change without authentication, will it not be a microsoft violation?
