Dual boot Windows with Linux

Is there a tutorial here (I didn't find, so maybe in another place there's a good tutorial?) on how to be able to install both Linux and Windows 10 on my laptop's hard drive?
So that when I restart my laptop I will be able to choose from either Windows 10 or Linux?

I did that once with Windows 7, and I remember I had 2 possibilities: Either to be able to choose through a Linux prompt at the startup, or through a Windows prompt. I tried both options. (It was either doing it via a Microsoft boot manager or via Linux boot manager or something like that, I just can't remember)

Hope it's clear enough

**Edit: I remember there was some sort of Linux boot manager if you install Linux AFTER Windows, and if you then delete Linux completely, you had to repair Windows boot loader (Or it was the other way?i.e installing Windows AFTER Linux and then repairing Windows boot loader?)

Thanks!

Ty, and I found out what I was looking for:
If you install Linux after you install Windows, Linux sets its own boot manager GRUB, and if you want to delete Linux partition, it will remove GRUB as well, leaving you without Windows boot manager, so you have to use a repair DVD/USB.
That was back in Windows 7. Maybe now in 10 it's different?

Sadly that's still the case. I hate grub with a passion. I use rEFInd boot manager now with every UEFI computer.

I once had my Win 10 Home dual boot with Linux Mint 17.2
I used this tutorial when I decided to remove Linux.

The key part starts at ......Fix the Windows Boot Loader

The real question is whether your PC is UEFI or BIOS.

If your PC is BIOS there is a guide here for using EasyBCD to add a Linux boot entry to the windows boot loader. How can I add Linux to the new Windows 8 boot manager? - Super User

However as it says (and it is right) it is slower to do it this way as the Windows boot loader is shown after the last OS is loaded. This means if you were running windows and wanted to reboot into Linux it would reload Windows, then you would select Linux and it would shut down again and only then load Linux. If that matters you'd be better off with GRUB.

If you use UEFI then I'd second rEFInd. It automatically identifies Windows , OSX and every type of Linux I've installed (with the exception of Arch Linux) on any internal of external drive. You just have to copy it to the EFI partition and register it - no configuration is needed. It is slightly easier to install from Linux but there are instructions to manually copy it to EFI from Windows here. If you remove Linux you can leave it or remove it as you wish - Windows will still boot fine.

It is UEFI.
Btw, can I get a clarification: I found out that it is UEFI, the BIOS looks the same.
At first I thought UEFI is only when you have that nice graphical BIOS rather than that blue screen BIOS.
But I guess UEFI is something else:)
( I checked that I have UEFI in the BIOS itself and through Windows in system info)
And I guess I will stick to GRUB and simply insert a Windows 10 dvd / usb whenever I delete Linux, as it's a really simple thing to do nowadays.

What is it? Is there an article / tutorial I can read about it?

The rEFInd Boot Manager

All it takes to install it is three lines in the Linux terminal

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rodsmith/refind
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install refind

Is it possible to install refind from Windows? Btw, if I understand, refind is a GUI for choosing the installed OS's?
