Will April update of Windows 10 destroy my dual booting Linux Mint 19.1?

Will the imminent forthcoming April update of Windows 10 destroy my dual booting Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon?
I’m a newbie, and apologise if: I’m posting this in the wrong place, or (more likely) asking a daft question!
I’ve been using 19.1 Cinnamon since Christmas, and it’s becoming my favoured O.S., but unfortunately I need to access W10 also for access to MS software, hence dual booting.
My system is 64bit : see details below.
I’m running W10 Pro ver 1809 (build 17763.404), and version 1903 is due soon.
My dread is that when the big windows update drops, I’ll lose my precious LM 19.1. I have Timeshift running and active.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
