Reload Windows 10 Pro, need product ID? -> No record of it...

@AddRAM, I appreciate your input.
My first attempt was with a USB stick, and it failed with the invalid partition. I believe that UEFI is not a feature on this older PC. Not mentioned anywhere at boot or in BIOS.

Someone earlier suggested that I post pics of the boot screens. I'm finally getting to that.
1. At initial boot, and I select F12:





2. This is the boot up screen after selecting F12. From this screen if I select Hard Disk:





It then presents with this screen listing the drives to select from:





The drive with the Windows files created with the tool is not listed. NOTE again...if I boot up my laptop that I'm on now, the drive is listed, I can select it, and it boots into Windows ready for me to install. So, for whatever reason, this older PC is not seeing the install drive. The drive I'm using is an 2.5" SDD drive mounted in a case for it and a USB cable.

If I select USB-HDD as seen below:
