For several months I was enjoying dual boot on my laptop. Unfortunately, after last Windows update my Linux installation has vanished. >:( Also, other strange things happen know. I can not do another dual boot on this machine (it ignores Grub and goes straight to Windows), I can not boot anything from USB and for some time I even couldn't enter BIOS menu(?!). Anyone has experienced anything like that?

I had a similar issue after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Grub was destroyed and my (logical) Linux partition was deleted. So I always backup my Linux data before installing a bigger Windows update like 1511 or 1607.

Well, I have all the data and making another installation doesn't take more than 20 minutes, but I can't configure boot manager correctly or it's being totally ignored during the boot process (there wasn't problem like that before). I use Windows as much as I use Linux, so removing Windows is not an option, but, in this circumstances, having a dual boot machine isn't one as well. So, it's virtualisation or two separate laptops for two systems. Great...

Another option is to use an external USB HDD (no stick but a real HDD). You can always install Linux on that without any problems and it is booted rather quickly.

That would be a good solution for a desktop computer. Laptop? I'm not sure...

No, expert. You are. Disabling updates in some versions of Windows 10 is not possible anymore. Also, I think it's generally a good idea to keep your system updated...

You're not wrong, disabling updates in these days of instability is pretty stupid.
But if you're hell-bent on stopping them, just change your internet connection settings to "metered" and they stop completely until you ask for them.

For last ten years I've been using only laptops. I've decided to go for "one laptop, one system" solution. Yesterday I bought a cheep one for general/family use and I'm gonna make my old one dual boot again (with Windows left just in case, I'm not planning to boot it in the near future). The new one comes with Win 10 pre-installed and I'm positively surprised that Microsoft still allows people to setup user accounts without having Microsoft's online account.

You don't even have to activate Win10 either - you can use it indefinitely and not pay a penny. The only restriction is that you can't personalise it.

My version's been pre-installed so it's been already activated. The bad thing about Windows is insane number of time it needs to update itself. In the meantime I tried several Linux distros on the other laptop (I had to download .iso images) and installed one. :)

It gives you a phobia thinking your last build was flawed and you should recompile all your stuff. I hate Windows and even more > 7.
