    Hello,

    Open Command Prompt as Administrator.

    In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter, this will list all the boot entries. Look for the entry of the Windows 10 version you want to remove:

    bcdedit /enum firmware /v

    Delete the Boot Entry: Copy the identifier of the unwanted boot entry. Then, type the following command and press Enter, replace {identifier} with the actual identifier you copied:

    bcdedit /delete {identifier}

    Restart Your Laptop: After deleting the boot entry, restart your laptop. The BIOS should no longer prompt you to select a boot device.

    Note: Be careful when making changes to the System Configuration settings as it can affect the performance of your laptop.

    Best Regards,

    Hania Lian
