Hi, My advice is to firstly backup all important data (never had a problem but Murphy's law...) Secondly download boot-repair- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair and install to a USB drive, then if grub does get confused you can re-install just grub rather than entire system! Then proceed as you were going to! Wishing you good luck!
