Default Win 8.1 Upgrade to Pro before upgrade to Win 10?

On my personal laptop I have Win8.1 Home. I plan to 'upgrade' to Win 10
Home in due course.

Is it worth upgrading to Win 8.1 Pro first before I do the transition to
Win 10? (I hear Win 10 Pro has more options regarding automatic updates
than Win 10 Home). (My Pro update comes free as I have access to my
university's group licence, also for use on my home PC).

Secondary question- does anyone know what the procedure for updating
from a private version of Win 8.1 to a group license Win 8.1 Pro is?.
(I discovered the usual upgrade path does not work. MS does not allow me
simply to upgrade from Home to Pro by typing the group license key.)

Thanks
