Re: How to get Jessie to run at boot time

Two days ago, my hard drive on my (now) discarded computer gave up the ghost.
After consideration, and advice from friends, I went out to Staples and bought
a Dell, with <sob> Windoze installed. I hooked up everything and Windoze boots
OK, my sound works, etc.
This morning I installed Jessie, and this time the install went well. I could
put in partitions for / , /usr/, /boot, /var, /tmp, and put in a big swap
partition. When I rebooted at the end of the install, I got my Windows again, which
pleased me, since I'd left it in, giving it 50 gig of my terabyte drive.
But I don't know how to get my new Jessie to boot! Back when I had one of my
first Linuxes and MS-DOS on my system, one got a prompt: "L or M" as soon as
one turned on the computer. Things are now more subtle I'm sure, and they are
too subtle for me!
So can someone who also has a dual-bootable system(with Windows 10 and Jessie)
please tell me how you choose, at boot-time, which of your systems you wish to
boot?
Booting Linux from W10's own boot menu might be the simplest:
