Description
If you recently installed a new version of Windows next to a previous one, your computer will now show a
dual-boot menu
in the Windows Boot Manager screen from where you can choose which Windows versions to boot into: the new version or the earlier version. In this article, learn how to remove the dual-boot menu for the following Windows versions:
XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1
and
10
.
Fix #1: Open msconfig
Using the msconfig utility tool allows you to select which version of Windows you'd like to boot directly into when you restart your computer. Follow these steps:
Click
Start
Type
msconfig
in the search box or open
Run
Go to
Boot
Select which Windows version you'd like to boot into directly
Press
Set as Default
You can delete the earlier version by selecting it and then clicking
Delete
Click
Apply
Click
OK
Restart your computer
If you choose to delete a version from the
Boot
tab of
msconfig
, that Windows version won't be deleted, but it won't be displayed on the Windows Boot Manager screen.
