The key is in the Microsoft Licensing Server, not the BIOS. Go to Windows 10 Settings, System, About, and click on the Upgrade Link. Upgrade from there.
What do you mean remove the futures?

after install windows 10 pro the bios activate windows home and remote futures like include in the domain etc
ok, I think the problem is you are trying to install Windows 10 Pro but when you do it activates as Windows 10 Home? Is that correct?
When you say futures, do you mean features?

The machine looks like it should be capable.
Either (a) contact HP Support, or (b) back up completely and do a fresh install of Windows 10.

You just need to purchase the upgrade and change the key. It is really quite easy. As noted by Lee and in my first answer here.

Without an ei.cfg it will just install as home which is his problem to begin with.
With the ei.cfg on the usb key he can select Pro.
He can enter the product key after his first windows login.

Yes, I mixed that up. Instead: the way should be to enforce using a product key
create PID.txt in the sources directory, edit it to be:
