Note: This tool is often confused with WinToBootic (a tool to make bootable USBs) or EasyBCD (a tool to manage boot entries). WinBootMate is specifically known for editing the graphical user interface (GUI) of the Windows boot screen (changing the "Starting Windows" text, logo, or animation).

Here is a guide on how to use WinBootMate, along with important safety precautions.

Once the tool is open and files are unlocked, you can modify the boot process.

2. Editing the Logo/Animation:

3. Modifying Boot Entries (BCD):

Ready to get your hands dirty? Here is a practical walkthrough for setting up Windows 10 and Windows 11 on the same PC using WinBootsMate.

Prerequisites:

Step 1: Prepare Your Drive Launch WinBootsMate and go to the Partition Manager. Select your main drive (e.g., C:). Click "Shrink Volume" to create at least 60GB of unallocated space. Click "Apply."

Step 2: Create the Target Partition Right-click the new unallocated space and select "Create Partition." Choose NTFS, assign a drive letter (let’s say "X:"), and label it "WinSecond." Do not format it as bootable yet—WinBootsMate will handle that.

Step 3: Launch the Boot Assistant From the main dashboard, select "Add New Windows Installation." WinBootsMate will ask for the location of your Windows ISO. Mount the ISO (double-click it) and point WinBootsMate to the install.wim or install.esd file inside the \sources\ folder.

Step 4: Configure Isolation Settings This is where WinBootsMate shines. Check the box labeled "Enable Full OS Isolation (Hide other system drives)." For the primary OS (Windows 10), choose to hide the "WinSecond" partition. For the new OS (Windows 11), choose to hide the original C: drive. End of Report Note: This tool is often

Step 5: Let WinBootsMate Work Click "Deploy." WinBootsMate will:

Step 6: Reboot and Finish Restart your PC. You will see the WinBootsMate-enhanced boot menu. Select the new installation to complete the "Out of Box Experience" (OOBE). Your second Windows setup won’t even know the first one exists.

Cause: Another process (like antivirus or Windows Search) is using the BCD store. Fix: Boot into Safe Mode (press F8 during startup) and run WinBootsMate from there. Alternatively, use the portable version from a Windows PE USB drive.

WinBootsMate is designed as a native Windows application with kernel-mode helper drivers (optional) and a user-mode GUI. Once the tool is open and files are

Let users see a visual timeline of boot-related changes (drivers, updates, services) and instantly roll back any problematic boot configuration.
