For testing the new operating system Windows 7 (Beta), most of the users have chosen the method dual-boot. After installing Windows 7, it will be set as default OS (Before booting, you have a few seconds to choose the operating system; if during this time you will not choose any of the two operating systems, the one set as default OS will be booted - usually the one highlighted).
If you want to set the other operating system installed (XP or Vista) As a bone default, you must follow the steps:
1. If it is a dual-boot intre XP si Windows 7, Change can only be made from Windows 7. After booting the operating system, go to Start, click-right click on Computer and select Properties.

In the menu displayed on the left side, select Advanced system settings.

In the open window, click on the button of Settings from below Startup and Recovery.

The Default operating system aveti optiunea de a selecta sistemul de operare pe care doriti sa il setati ca default.

Select Earlier Version of Windows, click OK, iar dupa restart veti observa ca sistemul de operare setat ca default nu mai este Windows 7, ci Windows XP.
2. Daca aveti dual-boot intre Windows Vista si Windows 7, urmati aceeasi pasi ca la punctul 1.

Singura diferenta este ca puteti face modificarea din ambele sisteme de operare.
