What are the generic keys for installing Windows 10 editions?

Doing a clean install and the installer wants a key before it lets me pick Pro. I read Microsoft publishes generic keys that install an edition but don't activate it. Is that right, and does the PC then activate from the digital licence it already had?

Microsoft publishes generic keys that let you install a given edition but they don't activate it. The two most people want: Home: TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99 Pro: VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T Honestly you can also just click 'I don't have a product key' during setup. If the PC had Windows 10 or 11 activated before, it picks up its digital licence once it's online.
