Windows 10: Windows 10 Booting process in details

It will be really helpful if anyone can tell me the booting process of windows 10 in detail. Details mean when all the binary files DLL files and registries are getting loaded and initialized in which step. And it would be really helpful if you can tell me in the step by step process.


I m asking this thing only learning purpose.



Thank you

Windows 10 Boot process

The best explanation I have read is this link on Quora, it explains each step of the boot process in detail. While it does not list all
the files executed - this would be not be the same on different systems, it does give an in depth explanation

Another thing you might like to look up is the difference in booting a BIOS based system as opposed to a UEFI based system -

Windows 10 - Boot Process

What is the Detailed Phases, Steps and sub-steps of the Windows 10 Boot Process ?

"Protecting the pre-OS environment with UEFI" is an old article from 2011, that is similar to what I'm looking for.

Boot and UEFI - Windows 10 hardware dev

Gives a general Idea, but how does Windows 10 compare to Windows 7,8,8.1?

I'm specifically looking at a traditional Desktop computer for best comparison.

From what I can tell, several of the boot decisions are made at the UEFI level, well before the kernel loads (ntoskrnl.exe in previous versions) And the boot process decision is no longer at the registry, it's at an earlier phase (Secure boot.). Looking
for details/info on these types of things.
