I want to change the boot order to default to rEFInd but the system always boots to Windows 10 and I have to use F10 method to boot into Linux via grub and rEFInd. I want to boot into rEFInd by default because of the tools and also because Linux is pretty stable. How do I change the boot order?

  • BIOS (the firmware) doesn't have the option to change boot order (Intel DG41RQ).
  • I have already tried bcdedit, EasyUEFI, and efibootmgr methods, but they didn't work.

    UEFI is not BIOS, it replaced it long time ago. It's a mistake keep calling it BIOS, if you have one you don't have the other. But the firmware (UEFI) must have the boot order setting somewhere, unless you enabled CSM (Legacy) only in which case it'll behave like the old BIOS. Please edit and post details about the computer.

  • @GabrielaGarcia There's no "CSM" option available. And I already changed the boot mode from Legacy to UEFI (I think that was implied). Also, edited the question wrt 'firmware'. Also, what should I post details about more?

    Weird thing, you mentioned " Intel DG41RQ" which, according to this ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/39683/… is from 2008 so I'm almost certain it is BIOS, not UEFI. So, when you press F10 it allows you to select a different drive or what are the exact options you see there?

  • The point here ^^^ is to try to understand how are you actually booting. I'm afraid you using concepts and methods that aren't applicable to your hardware because in all certainty you don't have UEFI, you have the old BIOS. Funny that's usually the other way around, people trying to apply their "old ways" to new UEFI based computers.

  • I am certain I am using UEFI, it has the option for UEFI, I used mbr2gpt to use UEFI boot with Windows and also rEFInd works only with UEFI iirc.
