default boot

About this tag
The tag 'default boot' covers discussions about setting or changing which operating system or drive boots first on a Windows PC. Common scenarios include migrating an OS to an SSD and wanting that drive to boot by default, or dealing with a system that boots from an external drive instead of the internal one. Users also ask about configuring the default OS in a dual-boot setup, such as choosing between Windows 7 and Vista or removing one OS while keeping the other. Troubleshooting boot failures after deleting a partition is another recurring theme. These threads focus on practical steps to control the boot order and resolve related issues.
