There's no way windows would've deleted your dual boot partition, your Linux bootloader? Yes ive seen it do that a hundred times over, but I have never seen it overwrite an entire Linux EXT4 partition. The only time it would do that is if you installed it after installing Linux and did a reccomended install instead of a custom install.
So if you haven't seen something happen it couldn't have happened to any of the billions of people in the world? If I said my computer won't power up someone here would insist I don't know how to press the power button.
