Looking for experience with upgrading Win 7 to Win 10 on a dual-boot system.
My Lenovo T530 came with Win 7 pre-installed. I shrunk the Windows partition and installed F21 (subsequently upgraded via fedup to F22). Grub2 boot menu offers both Fedora and Win 7.
Does the Win 10 upgrade leave the grub2 boot setup alone?

I have my grub2 boot on a separate disk, so this may not be applicable, but when my machine was upgraded, nothing happened to anything Fedora. However, the upgrade did mess up the basic BIOS boot order, so that nothing would boot. Fortunately, I just rearranged the BIOS order and everything was OK. I haven't Decided whether Windows 10 is an improvement yet, or not.

I had Win 7/Fedora 22/Ubuntu in a tri-boot system with the grub2 menu in the MBR, and when I upgraded to Win 10 using Microsoft's free update mechanism it did not mess with the MBR as it was an update rather than a re-install.
