I need some help!

Does anyone know how to get bios to default to VGA monitor not HDMI. I am trying to use both.

What is your pc set up?

Assuming Windows 10 but probably the same for other Win OSes.
Right-Click on your desktop and select Display Settings.
Click on your VGA display to highlight it.
Scroll down to Multiple Displays and click the checkbox for Make this my main display.

That should do it.

What Wolf described above is for setting default monitor in Windows. For BIOS, there is no way to do it. For any given set of cables connected to GPU always the same one will be chosen to display BIOS and this cannot be changed. What you can do is connect different set of cables (so in your example, not connecting HDMI) and you will get BIOS on different screen, but again this will be by GPU choice, not yours.

Which display the video card uses for BIOS depends on the video card and how it setup port priority. There's no way to change this priority, so if you want your VGA monitor to show BIOS because it always shows on the HDMI display, you have to disconnect the HDMI display.

Thank you thats what I've been thinking. Your right plug in the other for video when I want to use it.
