See how it is shown as connected in the bluetooth window:
Also see how it does show up in device manager:
Problem:
The problem that I have is even though my HM10 shows up in the valid Bluetooth devices under device manager, it does not show up in the list after I click "Incoming". The list is simply blank. Is there something I am missing to make it show up in this list?
Does not show up in this list!

if you have HC-05 bluetooth module, you can use it as direct UART connection to your computer without problem.
To open the hardware funtions windows: Control panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > double click on the bluetooth device > choose Hardware tab.

Since the goal of this question was to connect my Arduino to my computer wirelessly, I decided to use RF transmission instead of bluetooth. In doing this I purchased the following:
Qty Item 2 433 MHz Transciever that supports UART (or any frequency so long as both match) 1 USB to UART Converter I believe that my biggest issue was that I did not have the USB to UART converter. This also may have been the reason my bluetooth modules didn't work as they were simply transcievers as well without the usb to UART converter. Either way, if someone else is trying to have wireless communication between an Arduino and a Windows based computer, I would suggest the RF method instead.
