The laptop comes pre-installed with Win10 Home Edition but needs Win10 Pro. I reinstalled Windows, deleted the key from the registry, but Windows still picks up the key from the BIOS and Home Edition is installed on the laptop. How can I remove this key and install Win10 Pro normally?

As an option after installation, replace the key through the system settings.
You can also try to delete the file from the installation image \sources\ei.cfg, then during installation the choice of edition should appear.

You can enter the windows 10 pro key when windows home is already installed, and Windows will be updated to windows 10 pro
