Honestly, that hadn't occurred to me.  The BIOS is fancy (lots of colour 
and supports a mouse!) and I thought that Windows 10 only worked with 
UEFI.  Alright, I'll proceed under the impression that I'm working with 
a standard BIOS and write Grub to the MBR as in the Old Days.  Thanks 
for the clarity on this.
