Role: The bootloader is responsible for loading the operating system kernel into memory. Windows uses a boot manager called Windows Boot Manager (bootmgr).
- Key Tasks:
- bootmgr locates the operating system files and presents the user with the option to boot into Windows or other installed OSes (if a dual-boot setup exists).
- It reads the BCD (Boot Configuration Data), which contains the configuration for booting the system, including the location of the Windows kernel.
