there are mentions of legacy and mbr, to state the obvious you probably want to avoid this and go with EUFI/GPT. If you switch to AHCI, test the disk is recognised by linux, but then fix windows by registry modification or repair. I would only install tumbleweed afterwards. i.e. once windows is working on a linux compatible setup, then getting to a dual boot system is trivial (like maths, turn it into a problem you know how to solve!).

I also mentioned, I tried to switch to AHCI but it gave the boot loader for Windows 10 troubles and I was no longer able to boot up Windows 10. So I am not sure how to make these two OS's play nice with each other, and still looking for a workaround...
It is possible to fix Windows if changing mode proves to fix the issue with linux.
If Win 10 was installed at the factory in IDE mode and you switch to AHCI in the BIOS, the boot will fail. You have to dig into the registry and make some modifications of some values. The process for doing this is actually a little different on Windows 10 than 7, but it's quite simple. After you make the changes in the registry for AHCI booting, you go into the BIOS and switch to AHCI.
Or, change the BIOS first, then perform a Windows boot repair, then install openSUSE.
No. Change BIOS, test if it helps with Linux first, then fix Windows.
Note that using AHCI mode /may/ result in suboptimal power saving also under Windows.
Thanks Andre - I just responded to the same suggestions from Carlos and SDM but had a few more questions. I think the consensus is to go ahead and switch the BIOS to AHCI and then try to install Leap 42.2, which I will attempt as soon as someone can answer my questions about how to configure GRUB for this "test".
And I am not worried about power savings, most of the time I use my laptop it is connected to one of our local dams anywise!
