This is normally a function of the BIOS. If you go into the BIOS setup menu, 
you should find an option called ‘boot order’ or similar. Modify that to select 
your drive of preference to boot from.

Some more modern BIOSes have a function key you can hit on startup to bring up 
a boot menu (often F10) that’ll allow you to select a boot disk on the fly, 
rather than having to go into the full menu system each time you want to make a 
change.

Kind regards,

Chris
