Windows dual boot defaults to windows

Question

I have a system that I kept windows 10 on but really just use Ubuntu 16.04. Every time I turn on my laptop it brings up windows so I have to hold shift and restart, click boot from device then Ubuntu. I want to have it default to Ubuntu so I can avoid all of this. Thank you

You need to modify the boot order in your bios/uefi settings. If you don't know how to enter the settings try holding down Esc, Del, or F2 while booting. In the settings you need to look for a boot devices or boot order section. Move the Ubuntu-Partition to the top and you should be good to go. You should still be able to boot to windows from the Grub.
