If I may comment: The link is not clear or exact with regard to Boot Camp or at least leaves a serious question open. It says:

APFS and Boot Camp

Boot Camp doesn't read from or write to APFS-formatted volumes, but is compatible with High Sierra.

But compatibility does not mean that you can upgrade to High Sierra on a Mac with both the Mac and Boot Camp Partitions on the same SSD and then continue to use Boot Camp. It seems that some users in the forum had problems with such configurations.

Moreover, an earlier version of the linked document said:

Boot Camp is supported when upgrading to macOS High Sierra, unless the Boot Camp volume is greater than 3

TB and resides on a Fusion Drive. Boot Camp doesn't support Read/Write to APFS-formatted Mac volumes.

Although this indicated that you may upgrade including bootcamp it does not confirm that the upgrade my reformat the complete SSD including Boot Camp partition. Certainly there was a reason to change the text in the latest version.

Anybody able to confirm that the Boot Camp partition survives the upgrade to High Sierra on the same SSD as MacOS?
