Hello everyone, today in this article we will show you how to change the boot order on Windows. Do you need to boot your PC from a USB stick or optical drive to install or test a new operating system? Perhaps you have encountered a common problem: even though you have inserted the USB flash drive or CD/DVD, the computer will not boot from it! To solve this problem, you need to change the system boot order by setting your preferred device as the primary boot drive. This sounds complicated, but it’s not. Here’s what to do. So, without further ado, let’s get started.

When the PC boots up, the first thing that is loaded is the UEFI firmware or BIOS. It performs many functions, including the option of what hardware to use to boot Windows. If you want to boot from a USB drive or an external hard drive, you need to change the boot order of Windows 11or 10. The default is the first hard drive connected to the PC. Before Windows 11/10, it was only possible to reboot the PC and then press a single key such as F2 or DEL on the keyboard to access the BIOS. In Windows 10, Microsoft has integrated a recovery system that allows you to do many things. One of the options is BIOS booting, which greatly simplifies things in case you are unable to press the key.

Step 1: Turn on or Restart Your Computer

Step 2: Enter the BIOS Setup Utility

Step 3: Find the Boot Order Options in BIOS

Step 4: Make Changes to the Boot Order

Step 5: Save Your BIOS Changes
