What I want to happen is when I turn on my computer it boots into Windows 10 by default, and if I want to go into Kubuntu, I go into BIOS and choose to boot it. Is this possible without having Linux on a separate drive?

  • do you want to make Kubuntu by default or you want to run both window and kubuntu together – pl_rock Aug 14 '15 at 01:58
  • I want Windows to boot by default and be able to boot into Kubuntu by going into BIOS and selecting a boot option that will boot into Kubuntu. – benthegameboy Aug 14 '15 at 02:04

go into terminal and run command 

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

and change GRUB_TIMEOUT value lesser by default it wait for 10 sec so you can reduce it if you don't want to see grub menu then do 

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=3
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

then run 

sudo update-grub

and restart system

it will not show grub menu if you want to start Kubuntu then you have to press key within 3 second otherwise default OS will start if you want to know how to change default OS then refer this link

  • This isn't quite what I want. What I want is to be able to not even go into GRUB and just boot Windows 10 by default and only go into GRUB and then Kubuntu when I select an option in the BIOS. – benthegameboy Aug 14 '15 at 02:13
  • for that you have to reduce boot waiting time if you make it 5 sec or 3 sec like then it will start default OS without selecting BIOS . if you not select from BIOS still it start default OS but default waiting time is more so you have to reduce it – pl_rock Aug 14 '15 at 02:16
