Its pretty safe in Linux right? Or even i should do something?

Nopes. I had got my HDD replaced long time back, and then have this thing installed on a dedicated partition. Now i m too lazy to upgrade my version of Mint (I m on 11), 1 of the factors being going thru the user guides for "Upgrading Linux installation without destroying all ur other stuff on ur Drive, including another OS" 😀But yeah, i do keep updating the stuff that is notified to me by the update manager.
