    Grub 2.02 Set Default boot to Windows 10

    Currently unable to change the default boot for kali linux 2 grub 2.02 launcher.

    It says windows 10 is windows 8.1 (loader) but ive tried setting it to the whole "windows 8.1 (loader) from /blah/blah/blah".

    to no avail. I swear last time i set this up i could use the grub loader on launch and tell it to set the default os.
    Is there a command or way i can enter that from the grub load up screen?

    I did not understand your problem exactly.
    you can change default grub setting from Kali Linux with
    leafpad /etc/default/grub (leafpad or nano or gedit...)
    and change line
    GRUB DEFAULT=0 to GRUB DEFAULT=X , X=n-1 (n=numbers of entry in grub)
    where is X windows entry.
    after that use command
    update-grub
    to save settings

    Thank you! I knew what to edit but I didn't realize that the count started at 0. I'm working fine now with my dual-boot of Windows 10 and Kali Sana.
