For example, my Windows 98 SE always booted into 256 colour, 640x480 mode. When I moved to XP, it used 16-bit colour, 640x480 and in Windows 7, it was 32-bit colour, 800x600. Win11 probably used 32-bit colour, and native monitor resolution.
For Windows 8+, it is understandable as to only having 32-bit modes; for Win10 and 11, monitor res is easily detected by MBDD.
For OS like Win7 and older, were there any other cases of selecting a different video mode? Considering the fact that Win9x had as low as 2-bit colour mode, and upto Win7, 4-bit colour mode even existed.
