I have a laptop with opensuse 13.1 and windows 8.1 (dual boot made at separate partition during opensuse instalation (grub)) and I would like to upgrade from windows 8.1 to windows 10.
Will everything work ok after the upgrade? should I do something before? I was postponing since last year and after a search i did not find much feedback about it on the forums
I am not aware of any problems, though I am still at Win 8.1.
If you upgrade, your computer will probably boot straight into Windows. You might need to change the boot order in BIOS settings, if you want it to boot the grub menu.

To go with that, I would recommend you take a good look at your disk using
gparted or a similar disk tool. One of my machines had free space scattered
all over from serving as a test box and that extra partition W10 created
managed to fit itself in mid-way down the chain. Made a mess of the logical
mappings for the remaining Linux grub settings and some mount points. Next
box I did had a similar history but using gparted to move/resize the
existing partitions leaving free space just at the end of the drive seemed
to avoid the hassle.
