First off: What is your timeframe to buy? HP is starting to roll out models with the 8th gen processors. Give it some time, and I am sure you will see all of them with this option. If you can only wait a few weeks, or even months, your selection will be limited. 

Second: Unless you go business you are likely going to have a hard time finding one with W10 Pro. However, you can easily upgrade to Pro when you get the computer. There is a screen where you can purchase the upgraded license. I don't know much about doing this, so I can't tell you what, if any, risks there are in doing this.

Third, 1TB SSD puts you up in the top end models, unless you prefer to upgrade after the fact. Almost any should be able to accept that upgrade.

Thank you for the input.
I will be needing it by next month and will be used as a work laptop. And yeah I think I over do it with the storage i guess a mix of HDD and SSD will be great. Are there specific models of HP laptops carry similar specs?

I did not see any exact matches, but here is one example of something close:

It only comes with one drive, so i don't know if you can do two.

In the Envy line you can get dual drives, but the motherboard they use with the 8th gen only has one RAM slot, and 4GB of onboard memory. There is another line of Envys with a different board that has two slots instead, but it is not currently paired with the 8th gen processor.

This message board is not really "run" by HP, so you are not likely to find much more info here than you can find on your own. So, I recommend you call the sales line, they should have a lot more info. 

Oh, and if you call and get someone that has answers you are usure of please call again, to get a second opinion. Some of the sales support are on top of their game for certain products, others specialize elsewhere.
