Why is this a duplicate of MCL-5546?
Anyway, Minecraft normally uses its own version of Java. If you want to use another Java install, you have to specify the path to the Java executeable of the Java version you wish to use in the launch options (select the profile you're using, enable "Java executeable" and change the path).
