I did a bad thing..

Go to solution Solved by Guest,

Well.. This is embarrassing;

 

I attempted to dual boot windows 7 alongside my windows 10 insider preview install.. it worked, but then it stopped working for no apparent reason, anyhow, i went ahead and just formatted the drive i installed windows 7 on because I couldn't boot into it anymore as i didn't get the option to, but after formatting the drive; i get the option to load windows 7 or 10..

 

Obviously, the windows 7 option is redundant now, because the drive was formatted; but im still getting the option to load 7 every time i boot? 

 

This wouldn't be an issue if i had windows 10 at the top and it just booted into it automatically, but windows 7 is at the top; and to make it worse, my usual keyboard requires drivers to work, so to press down and enter to load windows 10 on every boot, i need a cheap keyboard plugged in, and, I know 2 screens looks great on a desktop, but; 2 keyboards doesn't have the same effect :lol: I just want my computer to boot like normal again

 

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

 

 

Also; the people on the Google said i need a disk, which i dont have.. 

 

 

 

Specs:

AMD A6-3670 APU w/ Radeon HD Graphics

8GB RAM

120GB SSD - Kingston SSDNow V300 (Windows 10 Insider preview install)

2TB HDD - WD Green (3.5") (Storage Drive)

160GB HDD - WD Blue (2.5") (Had Windows 7)

2 Benq W2245 1080p monitors

Mobo: MSI A55M-P33 (MS-7786 ver: 1.0)

You can modify the boot options using a tool built into Windows called BCDEdit Here's Microsoft's documentation for it.

The Cheap SFF Wonder -- Turning a Core 2 Duo SFF machine into a useful member of computer society!

i5 3570 -- AS.Rock Z77 Pro3 -- 12GB DDR3 -- R9 380X -- 840Evo 500GB/1TB HDD 

I speak the honest truth with a bit of snark mixed in. I'm sorry if it doesn't line up with your beliefs.

Thank you! That helped, as soon as I realised that that program existed, it became so much simpler; I feel stupid now haha! Cheers!
