I plan a dual setup with Windows and Linux Mint. I’ll keep Linux Mint available daily while keeping Windows as the primary OS. The boot manager should automatically launch Windows within ten seconds if you don’t interact, but switch to Linux only when you click on it.
Set up Windows first, then add Mint to a separate drive. Mint will include Grub; adjust Windows as the default in Grub. The boot time is typically around 10 seconds, but I usually shorten it to 3 seconds for faster startup. This configuration was used on my son's PC, which runs Windows, while other machines default to Linux.
It seems you're referring to configuring something related to GRUB. You may need to adjust settings for your operating systems, define timeouts, and enable automatic selection options.

Mint will set up Grub automatically. Just adjust a few settings in the default folder so updates like the kernel apply automatically. I also tweak the grub.cfg to tidy things up, though it updates itself. Manually reinstalling Grub seems unnecessary. You can edit a few entries using the GUI text editor and be ready to go. When I get home, I’ll capture some screenshots from one of my PCs to show how it works.
@BaidDSB Here is how I do this, from Mint: First you can edit the default file is the default settings for your grub config file. Below, I change the default resolution of Grub, as booting up and have the menu in 4k or even 1440 is dumb, it's hard to read. The resolution has to be something your monitor supports though. I've found 1024 works nicely on all my machines. Remember this is just text, but this is just my opinion. Grub Default, is the default option, this will be the default boot option. This is the config file. I also modify this, despite the warnings in this file not to. The only reason not to is because it gets automatically updated. Primarily during kernel updates, and grub updates. You'll notice in mine, I deleted every boot option other than one Linux option, and one Windows option. My default boot option is Linux, so =0. Windows is the second line, so if I wanted to boot into Windows by default, my default boot option would be =1. All the options set in the default file above can be set in this config file too, they just get wiped and have to be reset if you do an update. Final word of warning, be careful in these files, as mess up grub, and the PC won't boot. Not the end of the world, as you can recover of it. However, it will be annoying. Especially if you aren't particularly familiar with these things.
