Under Windows 7, you could 'revert' to a Vista-style boot screen using bcdedit:
bcdedit /set {current} bootux basic
I don't know if this will still work under Windows 10, as I haven't touched it with a ten foot pole (pun intended). Try it in a VM first, though, as I'm not sure if it'll mess something up (it doesn't under Windows 7, that's all I know for sure).

Possible if you're on UEFI. [Please don't try this on Legacy systems...] NOTE: If your device doesn't have VGA drivers support, this might break your installation! [recoverable using Windows Recovery Environment] Step 1) Disable Secure Boot. Step 2) Run CMD as Administrator and execute "bcdedit -set {default} graphicsmodedisabled yes" Step 3) Reboot. If you break your installation: Step 1) Get into Recovery. Step 2) Run CMD and execute "bcdedit -set {default} graphicsmodedisabled no" Step 3) Installation fixed. NOTE: This has been tested on Windows 10 21H1 and Windows 11, idk about older versions of Windows 10, also this shouldn't work with Windows 8. But maybe someone will test it with W8.1? ![[Win8]](https://storage.proboards.com/6513581/images/YAcbMY0CvOpqmfapDN0q.png)  |

The VMs probably use Legacy boot and not UEFI. Legacy boot always provides VGA support. Your system is probably UEFI Class 3, which does not have that VGA support that is needed to display that bootscreen. Check for a "CSM" option and enable that. Do not enable "Legacy Boot" if you have the "Legacy Boot" Option. |

(by the way i have dell G5 5090 if that information is important) |
