Stuart, you could install Win 10 in Virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04 and run it as needed from there.
If you want to install it as a dual boot on a system that already has Ubuntu 16.04 installed I think you are going to have problems since Win 10 will try to take over the entire system during the install and change the boot area.
The recommended way for a dual boot is to install Win 10 first then Ubuntu 16.04. There are guides for doing that in the presentation section of http://ubuntu-maryland.org.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

Subject: Would like to run Windows 10 with ubuntu without deleting ubuntu

Guys,

Yesterday I got a copy of Windows 10. I am currently running ubuntu 
16.04 LTS on my desktop. would like to install and make both operating 
system bootable. Is there any way of doing so without first deleting 
Ubuntu, installing windows and then reinstalling ubuntu as dual boot? I 
was thinking virtual box or partitioning the drive into a C&D drive, 
leaving ubuntu on the C drive and installing windows on the D drive as  
bootable OS. Will  this work?

Stuart
