Default Trying to repair with Windows 10

Hello all
Last September I had to replace my pc. I bought one that had Windows
10 Home installed.
I had them install an SSD boot disk and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit to
replace the Windows 10.
The SSD contains 2 partitions, 100Mb labelled System Reserved (NTFS)
(Used 24%) and the C: drive, 117Gb (NTFS) (Used 65%).

The original C: drive is now D: containing 4 partitions, 400Mb
Recovery (NTFS) (Used 74%), 100Mb (FAT32) (Used 29%), (Other) 16MB and
D: 1862.4 GB (NTFS) (Used 7%), this holds most of my programs.
The Recovery partition I have now discovered seems to hold information
for Windows 10.

Yesterday afternoon (Sept 16th) my pc froze and the only way I could
do anything was to press the 'hot restart' button.
The pc started, but I was greeted with the information that there was
a problem and the system had to be repaired. I then received a Windows
10 splash screen and was told that my pc was being diagnosed, followed
by a screen stating that the system could not be repaired. There was
an option for Advanced Options, which I selected.
On the Advanced Options screen I have a few options, but the only one
through which I can reboot is Continue and Exit to Windows 10. I
select this and after a few seconds my mobo splash screen
appears. I then select F12 for boot options, followed by Esc and my pc
then boots into Windows 7.

I have to follow the above rigmarole every time I want to boot.
Can anyone advise me what, if anything, I can do about this state of
affairs?

I have found the Windows event log entries for about the time of the
freeze and they are zipped into a file on Dropbox, link

Would it be best to replace the Recovery partition with one for
Windows 7? Is this even possible ? Should I ask the pc supplier to do
this? (Local specialist pc builder/suppliers)
Can I stop it trying to repair?

Any advice gratefully received.
