Assignment of different power buttons

I have an old Sony VPCEH25EN laptop currently on dual boot Linux and Windows. My laptop came with Windows 7 Home Basic. It included a Quick Web Access button and a Linux based OS only for browsing the Internet. It went away when I installed Windows 10. The button still responds but reports me that it's missing a software. Now my question is can I assign a normal Windows boot when clicking the power button and a Linux boot whenever I press the WEB button?

Nope. That would have to be preprogrammed into the bootloader, so unless you have a kickass customizable bootloader, nope

The thing is the files that are required to boot up the Quick Web Access were stored in the C drive. I've found an installer that installs Quick Web Access through windows. (I've no Idea how that happens) and it only fires up when the system is fully shutdown. So it's in no way taking resources from Windows. So if there could be any way we can manipulate that?
