Change the boot menu in Windows.
To change the boot options of Windows, follow these steps:
- Open a command prompt or PowerShell window (run as administrator).
- Enter the command “bcdedit” and press Enter to view the current boot options. Pay attention to the “identifier,” which is the unique identifier for each boot entry.
- In order to add a new boot entry, use the command “bcdedit /copy {identifier} /d “New Boot Entry”, where “{identifier}” is the identifier of the existing boot entry you want to duplicate, and “New Boot Entry” is the name you want to give to the new boot entry.
- Enter the command “bcdedit /enum firmware” in the command prompt or PowerShell window to view available firmware boot options.
- To change the default boot entry, use the command “bcdedit /default {identifier}”, where “{identifier}” is the identifier of the boot entry you want to set as default.
- To remove unwanted boot entries, use the command “bcdedit /delete {identifier}”, where “{identifier}” is the identifier of the boot entry you want to delete.
- After making the changes, restart the computer to apply the new boot items.
It is recommended to create a system restore point or backup important data on your computer before changing the boot options to prevent any unexpected issues from occurring.
