If you are running a dual-boot setup with more than one Windows operating system, It’s pretty easy to configure the default boot operating system with the GUI interface.

First, you’ll need to right choose Computer and select Properties:
Next, click Advanced System controls
Now choose the controls button under Startup and Recovery
And just snag the operating system you want to use:
Easy stuff.
You could also use the bcdedit command to do the same thing from the command line, but it’s probably easier this way.
