Alright /g/, I had to install my first linux, for computer science and shit.
Then, grub2 happened, and moved placed windows to the bottom:
I want it on the top of the list.
I have been reading around and know about changing the default entry.
I know about saving the last os that was used as default.
I tried to use grub customizer and grub editor because I'm slightly scared of command lines and fucking up, but they won't work on this old lubuntu for some reason; I got this lubuntu from a friend's cd, I don't know how to check the version and from what I've read none of those programs would help me anyway:
From what I've understood, I can fuck around with the etc/default/grub file and the etc/grub.d/40_custom file, but none of them would change the order at which the menu entries are placed in the boot/grub/grub.cfg file, which I believe is what affects order here; and the only thing stopping me from doing so, aside from the fact that it wasn't supposed to be modified directly and the fear of fucking up, is that, from what I've read, it could be turned back into whatever he other grub files by some other obviously-important program.
What do?
I feel like I should fuck around with making more files in the grub.d directory, or maybe get the old grub, since it worked on a list or something; but I feel like the windows entry is made by the 30_os-prober file and that installing the old grub could be quite dangerous if done wrong, with no guarantee of it working.
What am I supposed to do?

update your lubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and get the new one if you have some old piece of shit.

Holy shit I don't even know how to screenshot, there's too much to learn
I get "W: Failed to fetch http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-backports/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80]" for a bunch of shit after apt-get update. and dist-upgrade won't download shit.
Guess this distro is too old then; might as well get something other than lubuntu on the way, since I'm kind of starting to hate it's everything.
Anything you can tell me the grub.d files or old grub?

run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
this will write your changes from /etc/default/grub to the actual boot partition config
