Hello and welcome.
Sounds like the Wi-Fi network is secured and has a password then, or it wouldn't prompt you. Before you reinstalled macOS on the Mac Mac, you must have saved the password in your Keychain, as it will auto-join. The Windows PC probably has the password saved as well.
You can tell if the Wi-Fi network is unsecured (no password) or secured (password), by the little lock icon next to it's name in the drop-down list for Wi-Fi in the menu bar.
