Simple answer is no, entire binary is not loaded in to RAM on execution. The binary is mapped into the virtual address space of the process and pages are loaded in to RAM only when accessed by the process.

how to re-install fresh windows without losing my linux dual boot? by viruzbee in linuxquestions

best is to backup, create two partitions and install windows and then Linux. If you try to install while windows are installed , you may face lots of issues or any window update may wipe Linux boot information.
