In dual booting, when we finish the installation, we find that the default option in the boot loader to start the system is Ubuntu and Windows appears as the last option in sequence. And to start Windows, we need to choose the Windows by down arrow key on the Keyboard and if we don’t choose, Ubuntu will automatically start.
If you wish to change the boot loader sequence which can
start your desired option first in sequence, then GRUB Customizer is the best
option. You only, need to install GRUB Customizer first then run it to change
the option.
With Grub
Customizer, you can easily:
- add, remove, edit, and rearrange Grub
menu entries.
- Change default entry, visibility,
timeout, and kernel parameters.
- Change the resolution, background
image, edit the font and color, etc.
- Reinstall Grub into MBR, so to
load Ubuntu from Windows boot-loader
