I have installed ubuntu alongside Windows. Will updating Ubuntu erase data on Windows?
If I update Ubuntu installed in dual boot with Windows, is there any risk that the update will erase data on Windows?
Solution 1:
Updating Ubuntu will only write to the partition(s) its already installed in.
Solution 2:
No, updating Ubuntu will have no affect on your Windows partition. I have done dual boots before and never has the Windows partition(s) or Ubuntu partition(s) been affected by the other OS. Update all the way
