The Laptop I have came preinstalled with Win 10 Home (1909) on OEM. I then bought Win10 Professional and Installed on Separate Partition on SSD creating a Dual boot Machine. My question I have today is how to (Reinstall) or (Reset) or (Cleaninstall) My existing (Win10 Home OEM Install) without disrupting Dual Booted Windows 10 Professional which was installed after Win 10 Home Partition on SSD,

Additional Info - Windows 10 Home Came preinstalled on Laptop and activated on OEM with separate Microsoft accout

Win10 Pro was bought online with Serial Key and Activated through separate Microsoft account with Digital Licence.

-or Using Win 10 Iso and Changing UEFI Settings to boot USB with Win10 Home Iso, then at windows installation screen choose (Custom Install), delete the Partition which has Win 10 Home (1909), then install fresh copy of windows. Would this be possible to do without either confusing or affecting Win 10 Pro Partition?

-or Should I Just Delete/Format SSD erasing all Partitions, Boot Win 10 Home Through UEFI, so a fresh Install of Windows 10 Home first. after installation when in Win 10 Home Desktop Sighn In with Microsoft accout, activate Win 10 Home, then
