    @dave.m.brown, 

    Your disk configuration does not look like a standard Win 10 UEFI system.

    The EFI partition looks correct, can be 100MB or 260MB depending on the type of disk used, but I don't see a system reserved partition here, that is usually on a legacy BIOS not a UEFI ?

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/configure-uefigpt-based-hard-drive-partitions

    The Microsoft Reserved Partition is usually 16MB and you don't see it in disk Management, see Diskpart command below and the display with another utility.

    DISKPART> select disk 0

    Disk 0 is now the selected disk.

    DISKPART> list partition

      Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset

      -------------  ----------------  -------  -------

      Partition 1    System             260 MB  1024 KB

      Partition 2    Reserved            16 MB   261 MB

      Partition 3    Primary            475 GB   277 MB

      Partition 4    Recovery          1000 MB   475 GB

    You can buy Windows from there: 

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/b/windows?activetab=tab%3ashopwindows10

    Just pick a edition and buy it! 

    Download Windows 10 ISO from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    (ISO needs if you runing Windows 7)

    I've been running various 20H2 Release Preview builds since the middle of September.

    The point I’m trying to make is that 20H2 is now fully released; however, Microsoft appear to be very lax in keeping their (on-line) documentation up to date.

    Also, see my signature comment below.
