How to Change Boot Order on Your Computer


When you power on your computer, the CPU executes the firmware, which performs a hardware test (POST) and eventually checks the boot entries and their order. This boot order determines which devices or boot loaders are checked first.

Occasionally, you might need to change the default boot order to boot from an installation media or after adding a new storage drive. Or you might have a dual-boot setup, and you want to set one of the operating systems as the default.

How to Change Boot Order on Windows?

When booting, you can press the Boot Options key indicated on the screen and select the device to boot from for that specific session. But this is a one-time thing. 

Upon rebooting, the system will revert back to the default boot order and boot from the same device/loader that it used to before. To change the boot order, here’s what you should do instead:

  1. Power on your PC and repeatedly press the BIOS Setup key shown on the screen (Function keys or Del).

  2. In Easy Mode, the Boot Priority options should be easy to find. In Advanced Mode, go to the Boot tab first, then check the Boot Option priorities.
