When the PC boots, look in the bottom left corner. It will say something like press ___ for bios and ____ for boot menu. Press whichever button is for the boot menu. You have to do it quickly though, and right upon startup. Then just select the drive.

You could use a hot-swap bay. Just plug the one you want before powering on.

You could press "F11" to get into the boot menu.

You may get a boot screen letting you choose but I just go to "F11".

You could in theory if you wanna be fancy, install something like grub that Linux uses to select the os. I'm sure there's a way to install grub without Linux but it would make it easier to have Linux as well. You would need all OSs installed at the time for grub to detect them.

 

Tl;dr install Linux and use grub as a permanent solution that's effective and (slightly more) user friendly.
