In case anyone else needs this I've had a minor breakthrough this morning (and actually, the above isn't entirely true...)
When I installed Windows 10 on my Mac Pro, it set itself up as the default OS - BUT - it seems that when Windows does this, it somehow boots up without Virtualisation enabled (don't ask me why - but it does...) To enable Virtualisation, you need to boot into MacOS first - and then select restart (without powering down). Windows will then boot up with Virtualisation still enabled.
The good news is that the Virtualisation setting will happily survive a Restart and a Sleep - though unfortunately it won't survive a power down. After powering up next time, I need to go through the same rigmarole again.
I'm guessing this is some kinda weird-ism with the Mac hardware.
