Thank you for your comments . I would like to mention that I am still trying unsucessfully to get a normal dual boot Windows 10 UEFI / 42.2 UEFI system. Below is what I have tried / managed to do since my last email.
I burnt Windows 10 to to another usb key and paid more attention to partition type of the destination partition on the usb key this time.
Next, I blanked the computer's HD (again - as recommended) and reset the hard drive partition table to GPT using parted on systemrescuecd-x86-4.8.1 and then I reinstalled Windowd 10 as a proper UEFI system using the new usb key drive. IMHO I now have a proper UEFI installation of Windows 10 (see below for more info). I tested that Windows 10 booted OK - it did.
Then I installed 42.2. When the machine rebooted - it booted Windows 10. I installed 42.2 again. Same problem - when the machine rebooted - it booted Windows 10. <snip> Hi Boot into openSUSE and switch to root user and use efibootmgr -v to see

In cases like that I've just used efibootmgr to wipe the nvram entries and manually add back in. Oh, also check in YaST Boot Loader BootLoader Options tab that Probe Foreign OS is checked. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE Leap 42.1|GNOME 3.16.2|4.1.31-30-default up 7 days 23:29, 2 users, load average: 0.27, 0.25, 0.29 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635 @ 2.90GHz | GPU Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
