Hi:

 

You cannot clean install W10 Pro with the W10 Home product key in the BIOS.

 

No matter what you do, it will always come out as W10 Home.

 

The only way to upgrade to Pro is to follow the guidance at the link below...Read the info under the 'Upgrade using a Windows 10 Pro product key' section.
