Microsoft has recently released the Beta version of Windows 8 to public and many of you had downloaded and installed it on your computer.
Windows 8 has a very minimal designed Logon screen, it has not Aero effect no branding logo, aurora effect and so on. It’s a very simple logon screen.
If you wanna enjoy same logon screen on your Windows 7 pc then you can use Win8 Consumer Preview logon for Win7 designed by PeterRollar at DA. When you use, it will replace Windows 7 default logon screen and provide you Windows 8 like logon screen.
How To get :-
- First we need to Take Ownership of 2 files from Windows directory, because we are going to replace them, for it you can use any of below 2 method :-
