I'm trying to update (I refuse to say upgrade) the Windows 7 on my ThinkPad to W10. Apparently Grub interferes with the normal update method. Apparently in some cases Windows verifies that system is configured to boot Windows, which means that a) MBR has known Windows code and b) active partition is Windows boot partition. You may need to revert either (or both). Fixing active partition is easy. If you have to replace MBR code with Windows code, you obviously need to reinstall it. Correct.
Note that it is not necessary GRUB - current openSUSE versions install Syslinux when you tell it to install generic MBR code; I do not know whether Windows tolerates it. Yes, it does.
