My Windows home is requesting to be upgraded before updates can be installed. My system is Chuwi HibookPro 10 with dual operating system. Windows 10 home and Android 5 operating system. Can I safely do the windows upgrade and retain the existing dual boot order? If so how can I go about it safely?

Windows 10 Home installed on your tablet is perfectly updatable online through Windows update.Just go to start, configuration, update and security, Windows update, check pending updates and install them. It may be necessary to restart several times
Thank you for your quick response. The message I am getting is that I am running Windows 10 version 1511 which is old, and it should be updated to the current version 1803. It requires minimum 8Gb free space.
Going by this I assume I wants to do the anniversary update which is somewhat like replacing version 1511 with version 1803. This i love, but the question is will it not mes up my dual booting?
No, it is compatible with the normal operation of the tablet.
You can also, to avoid the tedious waiting for updates, update once to the latest version of Windows. To do this you would only have to download a Windows 10 flash drive with the media management tool from the official Microsoft site. To find them you just have to type in the browser “get Windows 10”. Once downloaded, on the tablet, with Windows on, you enter the pendrive and select it in setup if it does not start alone.
Step 1: Check your Windows version
Before upgrading to Windows 10 Pro, make sure your device is up to date and running the most recent version of Windows 10 Home.
Before getting started with upgrading, you should check to see which version your PC is running. To do so, head to the search box in the Windows 10 Taskbar, or click on the Start Menu. Next, type in About.
In the list of results that appear, click on About Your PC, which will launch a settings window. Scroll down to the bottom portion of the screen, and check under Windows Specifications to see which version of Windows you’re running. If it lists Windows 10 Pro, then there will be no need to upgrade. If not, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Click to upgrade
Next up, in that same window, click on Change product key or upgrade your edition of Windows. Doing so should open up the Activation settings page. You will now see two ways to upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro.
If you’ve already purchased a Windows 10 Pro product key, you can click on Change Product Key and simply enter your key to upgrade. Windows will check the key against Microsoft servers. Once it validates your computer will download some of the required files for Windows 10 Pro, prompt you to reboot, and then switch you into the new version of the operating system.
Step 3: Purchase a product key
If you don’t already have a Windows 10 Pro product key, you can purchase a one-time upgrade from the built-in Microsoft Store in Windows. Simply click the Go to the Store link to open the Microsoft Store.
