I'm currently running rEFInd to dual boot Win10/OBSD on a Lenovo T460s. Just resized the Win10 partition, booted OBSD ramdisk, installed it on the spare space, and then installed fEFInd over the NT boot manager. To my surprise, it was a pretty painless procedure. And solid: just once in the last couple years a Win update mangled the boot manager and kidnapped the SSD, but reinstalling rEFInd over was just a two minutes fix.
Good luck!
