I've got Kubuntu on the SSD currently. I'd like to have a Win10 install on the HDD.

I know Windows overrides the bootloader with its own. I know you can fix it by booting from a live USB and executing

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

However, I am not sure where the bootloader will be placed, I'd like to ensure it's on the SSD, where Ubuntu is. How do I do so?

use grub-install yourself and you can specify the device to install it on. – guiverc Mar 14 '20 at 10:16

Does this answer your question? How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?) – guiverc Mar 14 '20 at 10:16
@guiverc It does. Please mark it as duplicate. – John Smith Mar 14 '20 at 10:26
If you are using an UEFI system there is a possibility that grub won't be replaced by Windows(done once by me). Might need grub-update after to add windows. – crip659 Mar 14 '20 at 11:33
