Hi :)
To put Windows or pre-existing OS at the top of the boot menu
Launchpad question
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+question/108890
Marc Stewart there
said
on 2010-04-30: It's trivial to move
Windows to the top of the GRUB2 menu. Open a terminal and enter:
cd /etc/grub.d
sudo mv 30_os-prober 08_os-prober
sudo update-grub
Grub1 was possibly slightly easier because you just edited a text-file to put
the Windows entry above the Gnu&Linux ones but Grub2 can do more and the code
is more modular so it's easier to update apparently.

The boot order is determined by grub automatically the order is normally the
last Linux distro installed, any other OS's installed. (I am not completely
sure how this order is determined). So if you have installed Windows, Ubuntu,
and Debian in this order the boot menu would likely be Debian, Ubuntu, then
Windows. Debian as the last installed would be first.
As far as cleaning Windows, I have seen recommendations for doing a complete
reinstall every 1 to 2 years to clean out all the accumulated garbage that you
can not get rid of. The time period depends on how much adding/deleting of
software is done. This beyond the normal virus scans, general cleanup, defrag,
etc required.
