By default, the installed operating system, in my case Windows, is installed preferentially.<\/p>\n<p>The solution is the &#8220;ESC&#8221; key. This must be pressed quickly during booting. If Windows has already been started, restart it and press the key repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>We then land in a menu.
