Is there a way to change your startup logo on your windows 10 pc? (legacy Bios)

I have a legacy bios on my pc, and the motherboard does NOT support UEFI bios, all the other things i've tried were only made 3 months ago but are already outdated, I am on windows version 20H2
Hello, how are you?
Welcome to the Microsoft Community!

My name is Paloma B., I'm an independent advisor, I'm here to help you in the best possible way.

I understand that you would like to change the Windows boot logo.

In fact, to change the Windows 10 logo, the user needs to install it in UEFI mode (and, therefore, the logo will be that of the computer manufacturer or that of the motherboard) and use a suitable tool to make the modification in the motherboard firmware.

It is somewhat different from the old systems where this customization was easier, but I do not recommend a modification in the motherboard firmware, as any error can corrupt it, making it unusable, this is a great risk.

I await news.

If these procedures helped you in any way, please click on "I solved my problem" and also mark as an answer, so you can help others users.

I remember something about there being a file that allows you to modify the windows boot animation. It still exists in all windows legacy bios systems.
According to a redditor:

If you're running legacy mode (not UEFI), there's a way to change the boot logo by editing the resources in the file called bootres.dll. Seems that it hasn't changed in Windows 10. Note that it's not a very easy thing to do, and it will most likely require you to run Windows in "test mode" that doesn't verify digital signatures in order to allow the system to use a modified bootres.dll

thanks, but the only way to modify the file is by using an editor program, but the only two programs do not work anymore
