Public bug reported:

Manual version: 16.04; Chapter 7; Page 111

It is not recommended to install Windows after having Ubuntu installed
as the first operating system.  This is difficult process is advised by
Matthew Helmke in his book "Ubuntu UNLEASHED" Covering 13.10 and 14.04.

This is because Windows overwrites the Master boot Record (MBR) in which
Ubuntu installs GRUB2.  The GRUB2 boot menu includes all operating
systems it detects on the hard disk.  So by disabling GRUB, the system
loads Windows selectively and prevents Ubuntu being selected as a boot
option.
