IIS 6 was included with Windows Server 2003 and XP, not with Windows 10. Windows 10 has IIS 10. There are a couple of items to check.

1. Make sure you actually have IIS installed and not just the IIS 6 Compatibility features installed.
2 It might be that your setup is not able to detect the high version of IIS. I would recommend reading the documentation of the tool you used to create it.
