How to set the default boot drive? I can get to about 8 choices but only one is correct and I don't know how to do that by default.

I hit F10 and get a choice. The default value is a flash drive with no boot of the stuff.  How do I pick up and save the right choice that the computer always looking to when it is turned on.

Hi Herbertrosenthal,

Welcome to the Microsoft community where you can find the answers related to windows.

If you get multiple entries start during the connection to the Windows 7 operating system then I suggest you to refer to the following methods.

This problem can occur because interties incorrect startup, that I suggest to read the following steps and check if it helps.

a. log in the computer using an account with administrator rights.

b. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

c. Select the Startup tab. in the list of boot tab, select the one you want to set a default value.

d. click on apply, OK and then click on restart and check if it helps.

Note: If you want to change the boot drive settings then I suggest you to read the following steps:

a. new computers often display a startup (or boot) menu. In the start menu, choose "Configuration of the BIOS," or "BIOS settings," or something similar.

Procedures vary depending on the manufacturer of the BIOS. Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DELETE, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer but before Windows starts. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer again.

b. the BIOS configuration screen appears. On the BIOS Setup screen, choose the option called "Boot order" or something similar. Startup command parameters may also be listed under "Advanced settings" or something similar.

c. Select your drive from DVD or USB drive as first boot device. (The USB flash drive can be listed under "Removable devices" or other similar term).

d. save the setting changes, and then exit the BIOS.

Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
