Yes. It wiped both of my Linux partitions. Gone. Well, "unallocated", but not even worth attempting a recovery. This was the straight Windows 7 -> Windows 10 in-place upgrade. Couldn't believe it. I mean, I expected the MBR to be overwritten with the Windows bootloader. That's an easy fix; just boot into a Live USB and run `grub-install /dev/sda` and you're laughing. Nope, completely wiped. I saw a few other reports on Reddit of the same thing, so it seems I wasn't just unlucky. The funniest part? It didn't even install its bootloader, so I couldn't boot into anything. Ridiculous.
