How can I make Windows the default OS in GRUB? [duplicate]

  • 772

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 8 64-bit on my PC.

When I start the computer and GRUB loads, the options for which OS to boot show Ubuntu first and Windows last.

I need to swap these choices, so that Windows is the default OS. How can this be done?

dual-boot

  1. Install Grub Customizer

    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

    When you run the application the first tab is the List configuration. Select the Menu Item you want to sort and hit the up/down arrows in the menu bar to place it in the order you want.

    Save and exit.

    There are a number of other useful features under General Settings such as choose the default checked, kernel parameters and countdown timer.
