Knowing how much of a Windows fan you are, I would have expected you know this better than a linuxhead like me:
There is only one Windows installer for both Home and Pro versions. One ISO.

As AnotherCat said, there are special disks for special editions, e.g. the EU/Korea/Chinese crackers editions, where it is legally problematic to distribute certain components on the ISO.

Home/Pro is unlocked at install time. Multiple ISOs is a waste of electrons.
I'm not sure that's the case.

When I installed Pro on my SP3, I burned a USB drive to use on my wife's HP laptop which had 8.1 home on it. When I tried to install from that The install asked me for a key, which of course was the key for home, and refused to install.

So I went back to the MCT and re-downloaded home. It installed just fine w/o asking for the key.
