Hi,
Anyone can help me to make the Remix OS as default boot option? I successfully installed Remix OS on my Acer V5-573G via dual boot. I shrank my current hard drive and created a separate partition for my Remix OS. I'm booting to Remix OS via Settings > Change PC Settings > Update and Recovery > Recovery > Advanced Startup.
Upon selecting this option to boot to Remix OS, there is a DOS like screen asking me to select from Windows and Remix OS.
Please help me if there is an option to make the Remix OS as default and get rid of this selection which also has 30 second timeout.
Tried to edit the menu.lst but cannot find the correct setting to make it defaulted to Remix OS.
Thanks in advance!
If you use official method for dual boot, every time you start your PC, you'll get prompted with two options Windows or Remix OS. You don't need to enter Windows to boot Remix. By default, Windows is the primary OS, and if you don't choose one option, it will start Windows in 30 seconds. But in this menu, there is a button to change the primary OS.

Thanks for your reply. I understand that if I install the remix OS on my drive C, it will always ask me the boot options (windows , remix os). Since I want to always default the booting to Windows (most of the time), I didn't install it to my drive C because it annoys me to see this and select it manually or wait for the timeout to finish just to boot to windows.
since i only use the remix OS not that frequent, I installed it on separate partition and it is okay with me to boot to windows first and go to advanced recovery setting to reboot and go to remix OS.
I just wonder if in this way, I can default it to remix OS with seeing this boot options

Where is the button?
I realize this is a sort of old thread, but I am having this same issue. Remix OS is the default boot option. I would like it to boot Windows by default, as it is really annoying when the pc restarts and if I'm not paying close attention it boots Remix OS. This is especially annoying when installing updates!
I too do not see any "button" that would facilitate this option.
Help? Thoughts?
Same problem here.
Just installed and I want to default to Windows. I guess ill just uninstall and hope it works. Caint boot in Remix by default on a PC for sure.

I found out how to change the default "Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Advanced Startup."
Worked for me...
Have same issue here but would be great if we can edit the default boot up to Windows instead of Remix OS and shorten the time from 30 seconds to user defined (2 seconds) would be great. Anyone have way around this?
Sorry for the DAMN LATE reply.....
This solution is applicable if you have a legacy BIOS.
Remix OS comes already pre-rooted, so you can edit root stuff, if you have access to the Windows partition (usually "disk0"), you can edit menu.lst using a text editor, then add:
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Change the number (hd0,1) according to your partition number
Example: I installed Windows in the 2nd partition, then (hd0,2)
Save the changes then reboot and press Esc before the countdown ends, and select Windows.
If your main OS is Windows NT4.0 or 2000 or XP, then add this instead:
title NTLDR
fallback 1
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr
map () (hd0)
map (hd0) ()
map --rehook
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr
chainloader /ntldr
Change both (hd0) numbers if you installed the old Windows OS to another disk, for example: I attached two disks, one has a corrupt Windows 10 which is (hd0), and the other has Windows XP for recovery purposes (hd1), then I change to (hd1)
Save the changes then reboot, and press Esc before the countdown ends, and select NTLDR.
And Voila! You can now set your Windows OS to default booting option again!

I am having trouble installing Remix OS in my laptop (Acer E5-521)
I made a 16GB partition for the Remix OS and install the system via it's bundled program.
I also successfully configured my laptop to dual-boot with Remix OS and Windows 10 with a complex work-around (Simple EasyBCD process doesn't work for me as the NeoGrub is greyed out) even I disabled the secure boot in the boot menu.
Once I try to boot to the Remix OS this what happen: it stays on the logo. I tired to wait for some hour and even stayed my laptop overnight it will not boot to the UI or the setup.
I try to look for solutions. Unfortunately, most tutorial I saw is through using an MBR partition.
My PC HDD is a GPT -- which is kinda obsolete using an OS like this.
To anyone who can help or had successfully installed the OS in a GPT HDD, I am hoping for your kindness to share your knowledge regarding this matter.
Looking forward for a reply

I have an old netbook that is pretty slow, it would be nice if I can install remix os as the only OS on that laptop. no boot from USB, no dual boot with windows, just push on button and remix os boots up.
For example, when I boot up ubuntu from usb there is the option to wipe hdd and install ubuntu on it. Would be nice if remix os had similar feature.

If your netbook is old (perhaps with 32bit cpu only), you'll have to take into account, that Remix OS will not start because there are problems with the graphics system.
Post "Installing Remix OS to Hard Drive or Virtual Machine without additional tools" describes how to use the built in formatting tool "cfdisk" for deleting old partitions and creating new partitions and setting up Remix OS in the next steps.
If you don't mind using additional tools like "PartedMagic" you'll find a description how to prepare a hdd and how to install Remix OS in Post "Remix OS on Hard Drive or Virtual Machine - Installation and (OTA) Update"
So i tried to dual boot with remix OS on my PC,i am running windows 7.
the dual boot didn't work,whenever i choose Remix Os it started to boot and then crash.
So i decided to remove Remix Os,in my frustration however i just right-clicked the os file in the partition i created and deleted the whole file not using the unistall feature.
Now when i open my pc it asks me whether or not to run Windows 7 or Remix os.
Does someone know a way to remove that,like make my pc realise that Remix os doesn't exist or choose windows 7 by default?
