until now I only used Ubuntu, but my school requires software that only runs on Windows.
But installing win10 onto an existing Ubuntu OS has a lot of problems, as win 10 has a high chance of erasing the mbr/GRUB.
does this also affect swap and Ubuntu itself?
if not, would it be possible to install win10, which destroys the mbr, and then install a second Linux system, that builds a new GRUB and incorporates the old installation into GRUB.Then I could load up the old Ubuntu, and erase the new one, thereby repairing GRUB without loosing my home-folder and programs?
if yes, how much would it be damaged?
