What does this do?

When you have multiple operating systems installed on your computer, you will have to pick an OS to boot into each time you turn on your computer.

The boot selection screen

This tutorial teaches you how to eliminate the screen altogether so you can boot into any opearting system without having to choose. Or if you’d like, you can also reduce the amount of time the computer gives you before it picks the default operating system to boot into.

Why would you want to do this?

Saves time if you’re mostly booting into one operating system. For example, I have a multi-boot setup for benchmarking purposes. But most of the time, I use Windows 7.

How-To:

1) Open the Start Menu, right click on Computer, and select Properties

Skip the boot selection screen and boot right into Windows 7

2) Select Advanced System Settings from the sidebar

Skip the boot selection screen and boot right into Windows 7

3) Click on Settings under Startup and Recovery

Skip the boot selection screen and boot right into Windows 7

4) If you want to skip the boot selection screen completely, uncheck the box beside Time to display list of operating systems

Skip the boot selection screen and boot right into Windows 7

If you just want to decrease the amount of time it takes for the boot selection screen to stay open, just change the number of seconds in the box beside.
