Product: HP Notebook 15AY07710R
Operating System: Other

I purchased a HP notebook from a shop. It came with a Windows Home edition. Now the laptop has to be used in my company domain. I want to change the OS from Windows Home to Windows Professional. I have a license for Windows Professional.

 

I tried formatting the laptop with my ISO image file, but after rebooting it still, shows Windows Home.

 

Please advise me the process
