Windows 10 has been known to overwrite the boot sector on updates 
recently.

Ordinarily, it does not.

It's best to always have an USB stick or SD card available to boot Linux 
with, all you need is the boot sector + space till the first partition.

I mean any MBR card/stick partitioned with a 2048s (1MB) partition 
offset can be used to install Grub with no other requirements.

Ordinarily Windows leaves the boot sector alone after installation.....
