I forgot to tell you that when booting up
it had stopped at the Windows Boot Manager

FWIW, Robert, I've had reasonable success in taking a photograph of my
computer screen with my camera and, in more recent times, with my iPhone
camera.

Here's an example: https://i.imgur.com/KL6LIqq.jpg

So simple you may have overlooked this possibility!
