I have three monitors in my computer, one connected to VGA (primary), one to DVI and one to the HDMI. Two monitors are active each time. Either the VGA and HDMI or VGA and DVI. When computer boots it defaults always to the HDMI. If this is disconnected it goes to DVI first. If both these are missing it displays to the VGA. This priority is hardcoded in the graphics card BIOS and cannot be changed without special tools to edit the BIOS. Once into Windows the primary monitor changes to VGA as I have set in Nvidia Control Panel. So unless you disconnect the secondary monitor every time, there is no easy way to make the default monitor the VGA. But you can set the desired primary monitor in Windows Display settings or the graphics card control panel. Just make sure you install latest graphics drivers from the manufacturer to get the control panel. Windows Update usually installs only the driver with minimal functionality.
