   The question is where does the Microsoft bootloader live. If there are no   
   files on sda1, it can't be used for booting Windows.   
   Might it be that sda2 contains the Microsoft bootloader ? That means that   
   there is a directory called EFI with a subdirectory called Microsoft.   
      
   Might it be that you've installed Opensuse in legacy Bios mode? But with GPT   
   Windows supports only UEFI mode. In that case you probably have to reinstall   
   Opensuse in UEFI mode.   
   Often the BIOS provides two options for a bootable Installation media ( UEFI   
   and legacy) and if you've chosen the wrong option, because the other option   
   was scrolled out of sight, that might have happened
