Hi Marc You should be able to upgrade to windows 10 without changing the bootblock manually. You will need a specific version of the windows 10 iso however for it to still work. And not all notebooks are supported. To change the bootblock manually you could try system-rescue-cd [0]. To fix the bootblock back again you can use "bootadm install-bootloader" see the man page for details.
Please be aware that all windows tips are from memory and might not work.
