If your PC has two or more operating systems installed in your computer, then one of the operating systems is chosen as default. This means one of the operating systems will start booting automatically after the time of wait elapses, even if you have not chosen any operating system. So choosing the default operating system is very important. If you use a single operating system more often, then set that OS as your default OS. The following tutorial will help you choose default OS to run at Startup in Windows 10.

Steps to Choose a Default Operating System to Run at Startup in Windows 10

1. First of all right click on Start Menu and go to Control Panel.

  2. I’ve installed Windows 10 on C:/ Drive and Windows 7 on D:/ drive . I’ve selected Windows 7 as default OS at Start up. But when I shut down Windows 10 and again start my Lappy, it starts Windows 10 only without showing OS boot options. How can I resolve this issue ?

  6. Great service you provide. My pc always has opened in Win 10 until a week ago Now only in Win 7. I followed your instructions that went perfect until I got to default operating dropdown only Win 7 shows in the dropdown box nothing else??? Any ideas???
    Thanks for all you do!,
