    How did you made the USB? It is possible to make a USB that only works for UEFI or only for BIOS installs.

    See USB Flash Drive - Create to Install Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    If the USB is MBR and formatted NTFS (or you made it with the Media Creation Tool) it is probably OK for BIOS install though.

    I used Windows 7 DVD Download Tool and its good and worked before because rufus sometimes corrupt setup for me.

    I think its because of SATA Drivers can you guide me how to install it and which files.

    It's more than likely a problem with the USB. If it were me, I would use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to directly create the installation USB:
    Windows 10

    Blue box "Download Tool Now". Select "Create installation media for another computer". Uncheck the "Use recommended options for this PC". Then select your language (probably English (United States)), Edition (probably just Windows 10), and bit level. Then the USB Flash Drive Option.

    But it was working fine. Actually I want to use Pro version so can you guide me how to solve that problem.

    If you made a USB as @NavyNCDR mentioned it will have both Home and Pro on.

    As you have an old laptop with BIOS it will then ask you whether you want to install Home or Pro (as it doesn't have your key embedded).

    Just choose Pro and write back here with exactly what error message you get. Word for word.
