I need to do the windows 10 upgrade on a dual boot laptop. Any serious

Thank you in advance.

I thought I would post my experience.
I started with the fear that it was going to create many headaches. I
was wrong.
I found the link to upgrade to Windows 10 off the Microsoft site and
started the process. Fingers crossed.
Various files were downloaded and then it was time to reboot so I did.
I was expecting some strange issue on the boot but when the machine
asked me to select Windows from grub, I was a bit surprised. Of course
this was the first boot.
Windows 10 installation started and the reboot process started. I was
not paying attention so when I looked again, I was being prompted for
the Linux password. CTRL+ALT+DEL and found that grub was still coming
up. Booted into windows. All windows reboots were going to grub.
At the end, I had Windows 10 installed and tested and it was still being
booted through grub. I was very surprised and happy.
Booted into Fedora 23 and did the dnf upgrade with only one issue.
Using KDE and sddm was not installed. Booted into a terminal.
Installed sddm and target graphical.default and all was well.
Full upgrade of both systems were done in less than 6 hours without rushing.
I guess Microsoft isn't so bad now.
Note, this machine is using GPT partitions and has secure boot enabled
(other issues in the future).
Thanks to all that gave comments.
