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.

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.

If I select USB-HDD as seen below:





I get the Invalid Partition error:

• Press “Windows key + R” and type “slui 4” and press Enter.
