Okay..so here's my question:

 

How do I dual boot Windows 7 and Linux (Elementary OS) and keep windows as the default boot?

What I mean by this is, I want it so that when I turn on my computer it gives me the option to choose either OS, but after a timeout period it defaults to windows 7.

 

Any ideas?  I'll use grub or windows boot manager, I just want to figure this out :)

Linux "nerd".  If I helped you please like my post and maybe add me as a friend :)  ^_^!

Do you have a link to this, and does it do the timeout?

Would you tell an arch linux user to just use "regular ubuntu".  I want to use Elementary until Ubuntu 14.04 comes out

Then just install it with a dvd or usb and set it up in windows boot loader.
