• Enable Windows Logo: Selecting this option enable the legacy windows logo on the boot screen.
• Enable Messages: Text messages that are displayed on the boot screen can be enabled or disabled. By these, I mean pesky messages like ‘Please Wait,’ ‘Updating Registry’ and the like.
• Enable Loading circle: You can set whether the spinning circle during boot is run or not.
• Enable legacy boot menu: This will disable the Modern Boot UI completely and bring you back to the good-old Windows 7 styled boot screen.
