I need to do the windows 10 upgrade on a dual boot laptop. Any
serious worries I need to watch out for?
Thank you in advance.

Just do the upgrade to Windows 10 and reinstall new Fedora 24 : When
upgrading to Windows 10 Fedora keeps in the bootloader the name of the
former version of Windows , then reinstall new Fdora 24 and in the
bootloader appears Windows 10.
My experience is that when you upgrade or do a new install of Windows
dual boot does not functionate anymore.
Greetings ,
I haven't played around with this functionality for quite some time
since moving from a Linux distro that allowed the linux boot blocks (and
hence dual boot functionality) to be installed to a partition.
As I understand it a Windows install will install its boot blocks to the
mbr of the disk it is installed on. Grub via grub2-install will let you
install the grub boot blocks to the mbr on any physical disk that is
available, so if you multiple disks you can install the grub dual-boot
boot blocks to hard disk that Windows is not installed on, and then
configure your bios (assuming your bios has this capability) to boot
from the disk that has the linux boot blocks instead of the disk that
has the windows boot blocks.
Failing that there is an application that you can install on to a dvd
that will search your system for grub config files and let you boot from
any entry in the configs it can find, so you could use it to boot back
into linux and then use grub to put the dual-boot boot blocks back into
the mbr.
