    Windows 10 Digital License Transfer

    1) You cannot transfer digital licence without using MS account if original key is not retail. If original key is retail, you can just use it to activate new pc.

    Your windows 7 key should still be valid if retail.

    Your legal obligation is to wipe windows from old pc if you reinstall on new pc and transfer licence (either by reusing retail key or doing a digital licence transfer if linked to MS account).

    The fact old pc might activate automatically if new owner installs windows is not your problem provided you did not indicate it will activate automatically.
