    Questions about Windows 8.1 > 10 Upgrade on Dual Boot (Touch) System


    Hi, I'm currently run Windows 8.1 Touch on my ASUS VivoBook X202E system. I've upgraded to SSD a few years ago.
    I'm running Ubuntu along side Win 8.1. It works great and I like this setup.
    I believe I'll want to prep the system before downloading and upgrading by removing fast boot & secure boot. I'm thinking the upgrade will overwrite my MBR and cause it to just boot to Windows 10? The reason I say this is because that's what it did when I upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1. I had to use Boot-Repair to get the dual boot to work again. I'm also pretty certain that the Ubuntu I'm running (14.04) is compliant with UEFI. I could verify this but I don't have my laptop on me ATM.

    So, my question is twofold, has anyone performed an upgrade from 8.1 to 10 under a dual boot setup? And, if so, any issues with the touch screen interface or dual boot? Thanks for any ideas or tips before I "pull the trigger" *Cool

    :)

    Fall Creators update kills bootloader on dual boot systems

    My system is a regular BIOS system, it is not UEFI. My current motherboard is UEFI capable, but since the dual boot configuration was originally Windows 7 & Kubuntu, I have kept it a BIOS system. Every single major upgrade has clobbered the dual boot configuration
    in one way or another: Win 7 => Win 8.0, Win 8.0 => Win 8.1, Win 8.1 => Win 10 version 1507, 1507 => 1511, 1511 => 1607, 1607 => 1703, & 1703 => 1709.

    Can we install a Duel Operating System with Windows 10

    If you have a separate license to each operating system you can dual boot. You cannot dual boot with the operating system that is upgraded. The upgrade license replaces the license for the windows version being upgraded. In other words, you cannot dual
    boot with windows 8.1 and the windows 10 upgrade.
