Windows 10: New motherboard cannot recognise USB windows key

So my old PC died. Hence, I bought new MSI MAG B560m Bazooka motherboard, Intel core i5 11400, Kingston Fury 2x8GB RAM and new WD HDD. Put them together and it went straight to BIOS and detected all those components, my USB keyboard and USB mouse. I got a Windows 10 software on a USB 3.0 key. This key is from a retail Microsoft pack, not something I created on a USB key. Though the pack was from years ago. I took the key and inserted into one of the USB 3.2 port on the motherboard but the BIOS wouldn't boot from that key. I put the key to another port, restarted and still BIOS doesn't recognis
