And as for places to look, here are a few good places to look:
You must order the screenshots in the gallery in the way that the portions down below are ordered. You can only take one of each screenshot, and if there are multiple sections of one portion, it doesn't exclude it from capture. The Desktop, Start Menu, and Demo portions must always be included, even if it's unchanged from stock. Do not attempt to alter or change anything in the bootleg, and try to keep everything as is in its default configuration. An exception to this is if the resolution is raised to 1024x768.
; Pre-boot selector / Boot selector (''if it exists'')
; Text-mode setup (usually the only changes here are string changes, that is better suited for the 'Changes' section and not worth screenshotting)
: Partition screen, format screen, copying screen (ditto)
; Graphical setup
; Boot screen
; Pre-OOBE (''
; OOBE video (''if it exists, some bootlegs omit this'')
; OOBE (''if it exists, some bootlegs omit this'')
; Login screen
=== Some other things you need to know ===
* Try to maintain a consistent resolution of 1024x768 across all screenshots, if possible. The reasoning behind that specific resolution is because it is a good balance of size and content. (that being, it's not too big or small, and just about everything else will properly fit in that resolution without any cramming).
* Don't forget to specify the default theme's name when you're captioning the start menu image. You can find it by simply opening the Display Properties applet and looking in the theme selector.
* If you're reviewing a Windows Vista+ bootleg, if the System Properties window has changed branding, and you have the About Windows dialog open, move the About Windows dialog to down to the left and the System Properties window up to the right. This will make sure all of the branding will be shown, otherwise the About Windows dialog will cover part of it and not show everything.
* When you're operating the WPI in a bootleg, you should select the full configuration to install every program available. This makes sure that you get the most out of the preincluded programs. You don't necessarily have to do this, however. Make sure not to screenshot the WPI in full configuration - if it isn't already set by default.
