Dual boot win 10 home/ubuntu: Restore windows 10
Long story short: Ive been running dual boot win10/ubuntu for a few months now and everything has been mostly fine. Game in windows, do everything else in ubuntu. Recently I discovered that my internet speed in win10 is slow as molasses and I haven't been able to figure out why so I was contemplating a restore for the win10 operating system.
Does this mean I will have to reinstall my ubuntu as well or will the windows 10 restore stick to its own partition and leave ubuntu alone?
I know Ill need to redo my grub, thats fine, I just really don't want to reinstall ubuntu every time windows craps out on me.

That's kind of hard to determine if it will or won't wipe out your Ubuntu partition, but I have seen system recoveries that want to wipe out all other partitions and return the system to factory defaults. Might be best to check with the manufacturer of your system and see if their recovery performs removal of partitions and creating new ones. Regardless, it is always best to have a back up of your system or most importantly, your home folder.

My solution to this was install Ubuntu on an external drive, and booting Ubuntu every time I needed it. Today I have one machine to each system.
