Hi, today I decided to install windows 7, even though I have windows 8, and it works great.

 

But the problem is that when I power on my computer it automatically goes to windows 8.

 

So my question is, how can I make windows boot manager show up? the "UI" that let's me decide what to boot into.

 

Any suggestions?

 

The operating systems I have are windows 7 ultimate 64bit and windows 8 64bit.

I'm not aware of any method to make it do it automatically.

Check out this article. Once you install both OS, it will ask you which one you want to boot to. 

Did you install both Windows 7 and Windows 8 on one HDD/SSD?
