I swopped the HDD for the one cloned a few days ago before I started to try to fix this boot problem. It exhibits the same problem but at least it shows the 3 versions of Windows at boot up.
Windows 10 boots up fine.
Also I tool Pentagon’s suggestion and did
“bcdedit /set {id} bootmenupolicy legacy” and after a couple of reboots it went from the “Metro” screen to the legacy one.
Not sure why this would make a difference as I have a laptop that boots into Win10/Win7and 2 Linux distros and uses Metro for the Windows choice. But at this stage I won’t rule anything out.
Based on the cloned disc:

As before it boot to Win 10. But choosing either Win 7 or Win XP it only starts what looks like a boot as I see the respective initial boot splash screens for a few seconds before it reverts back to the BIOS splash screen.
Hopefully this will allow someone to tell me what my next move should be, before I give up and do a compete reinstall.
