Boot load options PROBLEM

    Hi,

    I installed Windows 8.1 on my laptop followed by openSUSE 13.10 to dual boot.
    Everything works fine with the OS' but I would like Windows 8.1 to be the default OS at start up. Currently the boot loader is GRUB2. How can I get the boot loader to be Windows' version of GRUB and still have the option to select between the two OS' at start up.

    Right now, when I turn on my laptop I get 10 seconds to choose an OS, and if the timer runs out, it boots openSUSE automatically. How can I change that so Windows loads automatically. Preferably getting rid of GRUB2 too.

    Pic below, ignore Windows 7 part, that's gone. Yet still there. Haha

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    The space to choose an OS in the below pic is empty once clicked.
