I can't believe that the system configuration says that for Win 8 and above it should be disabled. 

That is a fundamental error. 

For GPT you need UEFI and for MBR you need Legacy.

And you have a 32-Bit system! So what do they smoke?

Upload a picture of that. Probably you just have to enable legacy again.

Hi again

Followed your advice even though systems configuration it said legacy should be disabled for operating systems of Windows 8 and above! Enable legacy and lo and behold windows starting up again! Have to wait 2 hours with power on before I can login but from here or looks good so thanks so much Sue🌸
