For reasons connected with LyX development, I need to install Windows 10
on one of my machines. It is already running Fedora 27, and my intention
is to install Windows 10 on a separate SSD. I've not done this in a long
time, and, as I recall, in the past, it was by far best to install
Windows first. (That's what Google thinks, too.) But it's too late for
that, and I'd really rather not have to re-install Fedora.
I take it the main issue here is getting GRUB back up and running. Can
somone give me hints how to do that?
If it's an EFI system, then you should be ok. You might have to fix the
boot order after, but that should be all.
If it's not EFI, then make sure you have a live boot available to fix
grub after. I find the best option is to use the netinst image and boot
the rescue mode. It will automatically mount the installed system for
you. You just need to chroot and do grub2-install.
On second thought, if it's not an EFI system, the best method might be
to remove your Fedora drive, then install Windows on the only disk.
Then when you boot Fedora again, if you run grub mkconfig it will pick
up the Windows boot and add it to the grub menu.
