go to solution explorer > right click your project > click add (i dont have vb at school so not sure but i think its add or it might be add form) > then double click splash screen.

i dont think that has a title bar or a fram border

if it does, go to properties of form and put the "FormBorderStyle" to "none"

Use timer to make delay and progress bar.
so, draw a timer and progress bar then add this following code :

Private Sub WelcomeScreen_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        ProgressBar1.Value += 2
 
        If ProgressBar1.Value = 98 Then
            Dim obj As New Form2
            obj.ShowDialog() 'open form2
        End If
        If ProgressBar1.Value = 100 Then
            Timer1.Dispose()
            Me.Visible = False
        End If
End Sub
Private Sub WelcomeScreen_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        ProgressBar1.Value += 2

        If ProgressBar1.Value = 98 Then
            Dim obj As New Form2
            obj.ShowDialog() 'open form2
        End If
        If ProgressBar1.Value = 100 Then
            Timer1.Dispose()
            Me.Visible = False
        End If
End Sub
