Make windows primary on dualboot

Hello I wanted to ask if it's possible to primarily boot into windows with the dualboot screen from zorin.

In Zorin OS, run

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=1

Tap ctrl+x to exit the editor, then the y key to say yes, then the enter key to save current configuration.
Now you must run

sudo update-grub

Reboot and boot into your motherboard BIOS EFI Settings.
Move to the Boot Tab and select Windows as primary.

Proceed to boot and test.

Hi thanks for the reply actually that's not what I wanted. You know when dualboot is enabled there is something as a timer that boots into zorin but I want it to boot automatically into windows not driectly so I can choose at start up.

I believe you can go into your BIOS menu and move Windows to the #1 position and It will start windows 1st in your boot order ....

You can use grub customizer to change boot order.

Yes but no, what happens in that scenario is winblows says oh goody and we won't be needing that Grub menu anymore and you'll just boot to winsux.
Jerico has the answer I think.
