How to set an Operating System as default (bcdedit, Windows) 

What an excellent tutorial, very clear, concise and to the point including tutorials. I'd forgotten some of the oarameters of BCDedit and while surfing ran across this so I thought I'd take a look and even though the tutorial isn't about my specific requirements, which involve moving drive volumes to to a raid controller, it doesn't really mater. This Tutorial earned my subscription :) Thanks!

Thank you!!! You changed my life. I have android bootx64.efi in the bootmgr as (bootmgr) as the identifier and couldnt delete it so my laptop would not load on start up unless i pushed f12. This directs the boot to the right path. Thank you

Great job

you are genie you save me bro

thanks bro you saved my money and time too

Thanks a lot mate. I was making dual boot with win8.1 ans win10 and I got stuck choose default OS. And I lost my main OS win8.1. I again formated 2nd partition for win10 again got same issue. Then I searched a couple of videos I didn't find any solutions. I thought may be I need to change my default OS back to normal So again inserted formate disk and hold it some place then pressed shift+F10 I got cmd prompt and I settled default os back to win8.1 and I got my main OS back. And also dual boot menu showing both option for 10 and 8.1. Thanks man

Thanks dude..

Broooooooooooo BIG THANKS! Saved me from bringin my laptop into repair shop

Hi there , I don't know if you still come on youtube but I'd like to thanks you for your video . And I'd like to ask you if it is possible to make a boot loader with a version of Windows , whatever it is (just for my example) put on the 2 OS Ubuntu or a version of Linux with BCDEDIT ? I'm sorry if what I ask you is unclear , I'm not an english native :)

Thank you so much! 😍😍

Nice video. Here is my problem. I want to get rid of this “legacy boot menu”, in a dual boot system (win 7 and Win 10). I want to have the more modern “Metro Bootloader” ONLY. How do I do that? Tried bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard in Win 10 Command Prompt as Administrator. But the ugly legacy menu persists. SOLUTION?

I am using windows 8.1 & Linux(default). I tried in windows 8.1 os. This bcdedit command only showing windows 8.1. Linux not showing. Linux is currently default os. I want to change it to windows 8.1 os

Thanku

you could have easily restarted from the command prompt Shutdown /r /t 0

it does not work for me. i tried this for upgraded ssd. i could not change the boot sequence from uefi either. what should i do? i received this message for bcdedit operation, "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." so i need help!!!!!

Thanks you
