How to manage Dual OS Boot

Boot your default OS

Some people make use of dual operating systems for their own use and some people make use single OS. When you startup your PC it will ask you as to which installation to continue with if you have dual OS.

Sometimes you may forget or you may not notice which OS to start with and in this case your PC will select the first OS which is displayed in the screen.

If the selected OS is not the one you desired then you may restart your PC to boot with the other OS.

To avoid this you can tell your PC which is your default OS to boot into.

Here is the way to tell your PC about your default OS.

Step1: Click on Start Menu --> Right Click on Computer --> Select Properties as displayed in the below picture.

Step2: Click on Advanced System Settings on the left pane.

Step3: Select Advanced tab and click on Settings button under Startup and Recovery Panel. After clicking this Startup and Recovery dialog box will appear.

Step4: Under System Startup Panel the Operating system available in your PC will be listed in Default Operating System. select your default Operating Systems from the drop down menu, even you can change the OS booting time by changing the default 30 seconds to 10 or 5 or 0 seconds to boot immediately and click 'OK'.

Your default Operating System will be booted when you startup your PC next time.
