Dual boot order

| 1 | Have just installed Ubuntu onto a W10 box - both work fine except that at startup, it now defaults to Ubuntu. Back in the W7 days, there was a file boot.ini that contained the order of boot. tegretol - 2021-06-28 10:45:00 |

A text-based startup choice appears instead and defaults to Linux/Ubuntu. I just need to change the default to W10 so that when I remotely reboot the PC, W10 starts. tegretol - 2021-06-28 11:02:00 |
| 4 | Follow this simple tutorial and it will change the boot order from ubuntu to windows 10. Read it first so as to understand it then open a terminal and go from there. It requires you to do a little bit of coding. I just copied and pasted the sudo commands into the terminal, and if I can do it anybody can. GL! I too was wondering if I could change the boot order and am so happy now that I found the answer, literally found it 5 mins ago and can confirm it works. Still have to wait for the countdown but the main thing is that it boots into windows 10 by default... https://itsfoss.com/grub-customizer-ubuntu/ Hope it helps you too :) muppet_slayer - 2021-06-28 11:46:00 |
| 5 | If you are new to using the terminal. Where it says 'sudo' each one is a new command that you do one at a time. Paste them into the terminal and hit enter after each one. Don't copy the whole lot and paste it. When you have opened grub customiser and have moved windows to the top, don't forget to 'save' the configuration. muppet_slayer - 2021-06-28 11:56:00 |
| 6 | There is also a short video tutorial in there that might help. muppet_slayer - 2021-06-28 12:01:00 |
| 7 | You just need to edit the grub file. tygertung - 2021-06-28 12:58:00 |
| 8 | Would EasyBCD do the job. I've used this when dual booting (but just Windows). fishb8 - 2021-06-28 16:20:00 |
| 9 | Yes you need to do it from Linux, not Windows. EasyBCD: well see here: https://neosmart.net/wiki/easybcd/dual-boot/linux/ lythande1 - 2021-06-28 18:40:00 |
| 10 | I tried using easybcd when I loaded ubuntu first and windows 10 second. It couldn't do it and had most of it's features disabled, funnily enough they were the features that were needed. Said something about microsoft not allowing dual booting anymore from unknown OS's. I guess microsoft must own easybcd, it sure seemed like it. So I loaded windows 10 first and ubuntu second and utilised the linux dual boot loader system. muppet_slayer - 2021-06-28 19:26:00 |
| 11 | Linux takes precedence when its a dual boot.....in fact ditto with dos and windows. lythande1 - 2021-06-29 10:53:00 |
