I'm using Windows for everything, but I want to check and learn Linux also. My computer is also used by my family. Is there any possibility to run Windows by default (without any choosing) and Ubuntu on demand (for example when I click F6 or something like that on startup)?

Edit: Any of the answers don't work for me (new version of Ubuntu). Anyone?

In order to make your computer boot into Windows by default, you'll have to change GRUB's config file. While you could do that from the config file as root, I would recommend using GRUB Customizer, since it is a graphical interface for editing the boot order and a few other things, like the appearance of GRUB when you're selecting an OS to boot into.

Try the following in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

If GRUB Customizer doesn't show up in Ubuntu's applications, then you will be able to launch it with

grub-customizer

via a terminal or the Alt+F2 run command shortcut.
