Hi:

 

The product specs for your notebook indicate that it came with W10 Home, which means that there is a W10 Home product key in the BIOS.

 

https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c04930282

 

There is no such thing as a separate W10 Pro installation file.  The file contains both the Home and Pro versions of W10.

 

So, W10 automatically picks up the W10 Home product key in the BIOS and you will always end up with W10 Home, no matter how many times you try to clean install W10 Pro.

 

See this link for how to upgrade from Home to Pro...scroll to the bottom of the page and look under the applicable section...

 

Upgrade using your digital license for Windows 10 Pro

Upgrade using a Windows 10 Pro product key
