Can't dual boot to Linux using Windows 7 bootloader

I have 2 SSDs:

An older SATA SSD that Windows 7 is installed on
A new NVMe drive that openSUSE is installed on

The NVMe drive has a small 8 MB unformatted boot partition that contains GRUB2 (automatically created in openSUSE's setup) for openSUSE and a 50 GB partition for the OS itself.

I want to be able to boot from the SSD containing Win 7 and use that bootloader to load Linux because booting from GRUB on the Linux drive and then selecting Windows causes Windows updates to fail (the updates install but after the comp is rebooted to complete the installation, it fails and rolls back the changes).

Whenever I add an entry for GRUB2 (either pointing at the 8 MB partition or "Automatically locate and load"), when I select it on boot-up, it brings me to a GRUB4DOS screen rather than the GRUB2 bootloader on the NVMe drive.
 
Are you using the latest version of EasyBCD ?
2.4 contains fixes for latest linux distros which became incompatible with 2.3.
