How to Edit the Boot Order in Windows Boot Manager

Changing the boot order in Windows can be done relatively simply through its graphical interface; you simply need to know where to look. Using the built in menu you'll be able to change the default operating system, as well as the time the system will wait for user input before loading its default values. You can even change crash and recovery options in the same screen. You'll need administrative privileges in order to make any of these changes.

Instructions

1. Open your "Start" menu and select "Control Panel." If you don't see it, look under "Settings."

2. Click "System."

3. Click "Advanced system settings."

4. Click the "Settings" button under "Startup and Recovery."

5. Click the dropdown menu under "Default operating system:" and choose your desired operating system. Here you can also change the times the system waits before booting into its defaults.

6. Click "OK" to save your settings.
