Unfortunately no. Home edition will actively ignore Group Policies and Registry keys relating to privacy.

You would be better off using a 10 Pro license or pirating 10 Pro and keeping it from phoning home.

    Is it possible to convert an existing Home installation to a Pro installation without completely wiping the system and reinstalling everything?

    No. Not without paying a hefty license upgrade fee (Retail copy) or doing something incredibly shady. (Piracy tools which I won't specifically name but I'm sure you can find and likely know the dangers of obtaining for some users.)
