    Hello there,

    It may take around 10 minutes and one reboot to upgrade from win10 HOME to PRO.
    If you are upgrading only a few devices, you may want to enter a product key for the upgraded edition manually.
    To manually enter a product key:

    1. From either the Start menu or the Start screen, type 'Activation' and click on the Activation shortcut.
    2. Click Change product key.
    3. Enter your product key.
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

    You can also find reference in beneath links:

    Best Regards,

    If you upgrade via generic product key, it should take less than 10 minutes, IMO.
