Yeah! It is fixed. Inside the EFI partition was the 01966.bin file, the last key to this puzzle. We were able to reflash it to the same version, F.66, from the USB we had created from the softpaq (sp73289.exe), via the System Diagnostics, Firmware Management. It flashed fine, and afterwards booted right into Windows 10, so nothing on the Windows HD was corrupted. We will set it to boot first to openSUSE Leap 42.1, and can boot into Windows 10 from the Grub Menu easier than messing with the BIOS options each time.

 

Thanks much, DoughJohn, for all your help.
