You need buy a new pro key for your windows. You cannot transfer from home to pro for free ...

I don't see what's wrong? Windows Pro shows that it is activated by a license provided by your Microsoft account, which is what it's meant to do if you bought Windows 10 Pro on your MS account.

 

As for the software showing the old key, I'd guess that it's just because that software doesn't know how to display the fact that's it's digitally activated now and so displays the last key it saw.

You might as well try to give him your old key, just cross your fingers and hope that it is re-usable (if it's official, then it should very well be re-usable) and not digitally activated on your hardware (but since you got the key that doesn't seem to be the case).

Well you can try if key works or not. If it doesn't you need to get a new key, if not you could call Microsoft for them to reactive it again but as you can get them for 2 dollars it would easier to just buy a new one.
