No, the W10 SL key will always remain in the BIOS and cannot be replaced.
You use the W10 Pro product key you purchased to upgrade to W10 Pro like this...It is the only way it can be done.
- Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & Security > Activation .
- Select Change product key, and then enter the 25-character Windows 10 Pro product key.
- Select Next to start the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.

Hi:
You cannot clean install W10 Pro.
You will always get W10 Home SL, because that is what the product key in the BIOS is good for.
Windows will always install using the product key in the BIOS.
Read the info at the link below for how to upgrade from W10 Home to W10 Pro...toward the bottom of the page.
