Apart from other answers to this, anything with Win10 originally
installed (and you don't say this, it might be an upgrade, perhaps from
Vista) will have a recovery partition which can be triggered from a key
during boot. OK, it completely nukes the original installation,
returning the computer to factory-issued, but it costs nothing.

Another point: buster will install dual-boot to a UEFI Win10, but on my
netbook, will not dual-boot afterwards. It may still be possible to
dual-boot using the startup boot menu key, not GRUB, though it isn't on
my machine.
