Can't install Windows 10 ARM64 on Surface Pro X 1876 128GB from USB

Question

I can't install Windows 10 ARM64 on Surface Pro X 1876 128GB.
I flashed USB using latest Rufus version with Windows 10 ARM64 1903 Enterprise ISO.
I have an adapter (USB -> USB-C), secure boot is disabled from UEFI and disks are empty.
What did I tried (in Rufus):

GPT, UEFI (without CSM), FAT32, 4096b - Windows is booting, I can see window where, I can choose language, date and keyobard, but I can't do anything from keyboard, touchpad or external mouse. Screen just freezed.
GPT, UEFI (without CSM), NTFS, 4096b - Device is starting and freezing on Windows Surface logo.
MBR, BIOS (or UEFI-CSM), NTFS, 4096b - I guess device can't see bootable USB and is booting in UEFI - I'm able to use touchpad, keyboard and external mouse.

(different USB also with adapter)

GPT, UEFI (without CSM), FAT32, 16kb - Windows is booting, I can see window where, I can choose language, date and keyobard, but I can't do anything from keyboard, touchpad or external mouse. Screen just freezed.

Okay, I was stupid because I thought that it not possible to change licence from Home to Enterprise.
I installed Windows 10 Home from generated ISO using Surface Recovery Image (thank you @Ramhound!) with formatted USB (FAT32) drive.
After I installed the system I was able to activate Windows 10 Enterprise with the key:
NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43

The system downloaded some files and rebooted.
After this I added the workstation to my domain and I was able to change the license with my own (digital, based on domain) and everything works great.
