To create Windows 10 installation media on a bootable USB stick that will automatically install Windows 10 Pro edition, follow these steps:

With product key file stored on your installation media, Windows Pro edition will always be automatically selected during the installation you will not have to option to choose another edition. As a workaround, a file containing the proper product key be placed on the installation media (see next sections for details). This causes a problem as some computers will automatically install a home version of Windows therefore removing it's ability to join it to Azure AD. This can cause Windows installation media to bypass the edition selection screen and install the OEM key automatically. Some computers will have OEM Windows product keys embedded in their Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) tables from the manufacturer.
