sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

set environment variables with

Verify Oracle Java installation with

If anything goes wrong with your installation… fall back with

How to change default bootloader in Windows

This applies for windows 7 and 8. Normally you would want to do this after installing a secondary operating system and it took over your main bootloader. (you would notice a restart when choosing the main os)

  1. Open cmd with elevated privilages
  2. bcdedit /default {current}
  3. restart

An additional tip to speedup the restart of your pc is to hold down shift when restarting… This will prompt you to choose what os you want before all the preload stuff
