Windows 10: Need Help Changing Boot Manager Screen

Hi All,
I recently rebuilt my PC and installed Windows 10. I then decided I wanted to have Windows 7 available just in case. I partitioned my primary HD and installed Windows 7. In other words, I installed Windows 7 AFTER Windows 10 for a dual-boot system. I was surprised to see the Windows 7 Boot Manager screen appear instead of the Windows 10 Boot Manager. I guess I did this backwards as it appears installing Windows 10 AFTER Windows 7 is more common.

Is there a way to edit/change/modify the boot manager to use the Windows 10 screen instead of the Windows 7 screen?

Thanks for any help!
John

I do believe if you boot into Windows 10, and then set it as the default, you will get the Windows 10 dual boot menu.

 

Hi alphanumeric,
Thanks for the reply! I tried that last night and nothing changed.

Ok, I haven't done a dual boot setup in a dogs age. I have seen similar posts to yours though and thought that was the answer. Maybe it was Windows 8 and 7?

 

Run this from an admin command prompt

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu False

 

I thought it was either one of these in a CP Admin and a reboot:

To enable the graphical boot menu:

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard

To disable the graphical boot menu:

bcdedit /set “{current}” bootmenupolicy legacy

 

I think either works

 

Hi cereberus, Edwin,
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, the command processed successfully but the boot manager screen did not change.

I ran it first in Windows 10 and nothing changed. I switched over to Windows 7 and ran it there but the command wouldn't process. The error was something to do with it not being recognized properly.

Oh, well; I'll keep looking for a remedy.

Make sure you do it from within Windows 10 and Windows 10 is your default.

 

Command Prompt (admin) < I would think, if you didn't already.

 

If you don't mind spending $30, EasyBCD will do this job for you quite nicely. You can explicitly designate Windows 10 as the default OS therein, and then make sure you check the "Use Metro bootloader" option as shown here:



That's pretty much all there is to it. Works like a champ!

EasyBCD is free for home use.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately none of them worked which had to do more with possibly my installations were somehow compromised. I tried EasyBCD and apparently did something stoopid and ended up with an unrecoverable Windows 10 installation.

I started from scratch installing Windows 7 first and then Windows 10. everything is working as advertised and I have the fancy Windows 10 boot manager screen.
