Advanced warning - Win 10 update when dual booting

Just an advanced warning if you're dual booting, the latest Windows 10 Creators Update changes partition numbers (amongst other things...I think) and I just had an absolute nightmare getting it all back up and running

Good way to avoid this is changing your /etc/fstab file to use UUIDs instead of labels.

I probably should have been more specific - it's GRUB that will get b0rked not allowing you to reach the bootloader menus.

Bootloader reinstall required for those affected?
