Windows 10: Why Does Windows 10 Pickup Home Edition on Clean Install On my System?

Some Reason even with a PID text file in sources, 1909 on my clean install, picked up my bios original key and installed as Windows 10 Home, ended up just changing Product Key

As i had so much trouble with my Previous AMD FX system with it always installing Home, when i specifically bought Pro Off The Microsoft Store, which I believe is treated as a retail version and was legal to transfer from my older AMD FX system to my Newer Intel I7 system in September 2017, plus did call Microsoft to get the new key back then, yet still picks up Home key in UEFI bios and 9 times out of 10 installs Home first

Suppose to give digital license according to Microsoft site with the way i purchased Pro, Does say activated with Digital license now though

I'll upgrade my Flash drive if I can figure out why it happens, and hopefully way in future when I do another clean install if needed, I actually get Pro right away lol

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
