I don't have another machine to use so I think I'll go the Virtual route. I thank you for your help but this 84 year old man is tired so I think I'll go sit down and have a beer.

I am not sure of your current status but assuming you can boot to Windows 10...
Note to manage dual-boot I use the free version of EasyBCD
1. First go to Disk Management to see which partition has Windows 7.
In the following example Windows 7 is on partition K:
2. Run EasyBCD
3. Select Add New Entry
4. Add name and drive letter for Windows 7
5. Select Save Entry
6. Select Edit Boot Menu
7. Select Save Settings
8. Select View Settings
9. Note that Windows 7 has been added to boot menu. Exit program.
10. Reboot computer. You now have a boot menu where you can select either Windows 7 or Windows 10.
