When you have the Windows Bluetooth pane open and it is searching for devices then slide the power control on the keyboard to Off and then On shortly after. This should make the keyboard discoverable by Windows.
Make sure that the keyboard is not plugged in via cable to another computer, and make sure that it is not able to communicate with a previously paired Mac at the same time.
Note that the comments you have received earlier regarding duplicates and directions concerns a completely different keyboard, namely the "Apple Wireless Keyboard". You have the "Apple Magic Keyboard" which works in a slightly different manner regarding Bluetooth pairing - and it doesn't have a power button, but rather a slider.

Okay, so I also tried to connect the Apple Magic Keyboard to Windows 10 and I ran into several problems.
- As long as I had it connected via USB, it couldn't be discovered by Windows
- Even when pairing was then initialized, Windows showed a driver problem
So I unplugged the keyboard and installed Magic Utilities.

Once they were installed, the pairing worked fine - no driver issues any more. I didn't have to enter any sort of PIN on the keyboard - as mentioned elsewhere on the web -, but simply confirmed that this was the right device.
I am writing this via bluetooth now! :)
