When booting computer shows 2 boot options.

First off I don't really know if this is the right section to ask this question in but I took a guess and it brought me here. So I have a SSD that i use as a boot drive in my computer. When I was setting it up I installed windows 10 but then I realized I didn't have a windows 10 key but I had a windows 7 key so I was planning on going to windows 7 and getting the free upgrade to windows 10. So I installed windows 7 on the computer but somehow it did not complete or something because when I boot up it shows me 2 operating systems i could boot to Windows 10 and Windows Installation. If i press Windows installation it gives me an error message and does not boot but if I press windows 10 it boots fine. I decided to just go ahead and buy a windows 10 key so I have a full version now but whenever I boot it shows the 2 operating systems it can boot to and I don't want that I just want it to go straight to windows 10. So I don't know if there is a way I can set it up in BIOS so it doesn't give me that message or if there is a way to delete the windows 7 files so it doesn't even think that is an os to boot to.

If you go to Admin Tools -> Disk management
It should list your hard drive and the partitions that are on it.
From there you should be able to delete the windows installation partition.

I have already tried that but when I get home from school I will send you a screenshot to see if maybe I am doing it wrong.

Press the Windows button and the Pause key.
Click Advanced System Settings (on the left pane).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
Make sure the default operating system in the drop-down box is the one you are using.
Uncheck "Time to display list of Operating systems" then click on Apply and Ok.

You should now no longer see the boot manager when you start your computer.

another possibility is the MBR needs to be rewritten. If I remember correctly, you can fix this using the fdisk /mbr command in dos.

Thank you so much!
