At the end of this month I can windows 7 on my laptop upgrade to Windows 10 with undoubtly it's UEFI-BIOS. Wil my openSUSE 13.1 survive that? And if not how can I then install 13.1 again? T.i.a.

Having "upgraded" MS versions many times in the past in multi-boot systems can say there are some "gotchas" on MS part. First, openSuSE has an UEFI shim so that shouldn't be a problem. Next, MS tends to try to use the "ENTIRE" physical drive by default. One has to do some gymnastics to get that changed. So far only the ßeta version of MS 10 is available and it doesn't have any option but "whole drive". Hopefully the public release will revert to old way. Another problem will be the bootloader. MS ALWAYS but boot code in the MBR track, meaning you will at minimum need to re-create a new bootloader for multi-boot. It's in the openSuSE documentation or just Google it. The above having been said, you may or may not need to re-install OS 13.1 depending on how friendly (Unfriendly?) MS decides to be. WHATEVER YOU DO, BE SURE TO CREATE ONE (OE MORE) BACKUPS OF ALL YOUR PERSONAL FILES BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.
