Windows 10 – new PC, so first time from scratch.

I am finally breaking down and upgrading the hardware at home (will hopefully be the first of 2 new machines). Machine currently on the way comes with Win10 Home and my plan is to upgrade to Pro. Any recommendations on the order to do things once I get it out of the box such as

(1) Set configurations/setup on Home

(2) Update Home to current

(3) Create a recovery image to be safe

(4) Upgrade in place to Pro

I have used 10 at work but that is pretty locked down, so I don’t really have experience with getting it up and running in my home environment. Anything I am doing that I shouldn’t, missing, doing out of sequence, etc.?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
