I have recently installed Ubuntu on an old Windows 10 laptop and I've then use gparted to remove the Windows partition and managed to give myself rights to the storage drive.

Windows is gone (I think) but I still get asked to choose between Windows and Ubuntu at start up.

Is there a way for me to skip over the boot menu at startup and go direct to desktop in order to speed up my startup experience?

To make the GRUB menu not appear at all, unless you hold down the SHIFT or ESC keys, do this...

In the terminal...

sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub

locate:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

change it to:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=0

then sudo update-grub.
