Running the windows 10 iso for a clean install. What happens if I select windows 10 pro?

[Bugal Jackson]

I believe my previous windows 8.1 was home version.

I have been following this http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-3567655/clean-installation-windows.html

And got to a point where it asks which version of w10 I would like to install. It lists home, eductation, and pro. Can I just select whichever I want, and choose pro? In the link, it says

"For most users this will, and is recommended to be, Home version. Educational and other users should select according to the type of license identified on your product packaging or information. Then, click Next."

Will I get rejected from pro version or something if it detects my previous version wasn't pro?

You will have to select the version that matches your license. You won't be able to activate Windows if you have a home edition and you install any other edition.

Home can only update to Home.
If you try to install Pro, it will not activate. You'd have to purchase a valid Win 10 Pro license...~$140.
