was a bit unsure where to post this, but i'll try posting here, since it seems like a general help topic.

anyways, i just recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 and whenever i turn on my computer, it starts out by giving me the choice to choose between windows 10 and windows 7...

the thing is, i just want it to start directly into windows 10 - not that selection, how do i do that??

(i am aware of that it has like a counter where it is xx amount of seconds before it loads into windows 10 - currently set to 5 seconds, but a tad annoying to watch everytime..)

Hit Windows Key + R (to open Run) -> write msconfig in the Run window and hit ENTER -> Open the Boot tab.
From there you can set default boot option, and also delete the Windows 7 boot option entirely should you wish.

By the sounds of it, you have installed Windows 10 parallel to Windows 7.
If you don't want to use Windows 7 anymore and you're sure you've backed up/moved the files away from the Windows 7 partition, there is no point in having it around, no.

Do you know if your PC has drivers developed for Windows 10 or only 7? If the PC only has drivers for 7 available you might run in to more issues with Windows 10 than with 7, in the long term.

allright, understandable, i did use the update function, to update the drivers, and it seems fine atm.
atleast it updates em with no problems


and i did move most things over, so shouldn't be anything to worry about i hope, but i guess i could keep it a little time before deleting, if i should run into issues though.
again thanks for help, much apreciated.

When you've upgraded to 10 from 7/8/8.1 you will have the option to downgrade back to your previous version (in your case 7) for a month after the upgrade. So yes, I'd keep the files until you're 100% sure you want to stay on 10.

Just keep in mind that Windows 10's own update feature doesn't always find all drivers. If you list what PC you have (make and model) I can do a search for you.

If you're unsure of what PC you have, you can download and install Speccy and post a screenshot of that here. It will say what internals you have in your PC, which will help us in the right direction, to find the right drivers.
You can grab Speccy, here (pick the Piriform.com download link): https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download

No problem. Your motherboard does not appear to have any Windows 10 drivers developed, this means your Windows 10 installation will find generic and OEM drivers instead, which isn't always the most solid solution. But if you don't experience any quirks then don't worry too much about it. :)
Your motherboard's driver download page, can be found here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3440#driver

Your graphics card does have Windows 10 drivers, as that is from a more recent generation, you can find that here: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/103913/en-us
After a Windows 10 upgrade it's a good idea to re-install the graphics driver completely, this means during the installation of the driver you need to pick "Custom Installation" and then check "Clean Install". That ensures you have all the recommended default values.
