  2. Selling my Windows 11 PC. How does the new owner associate the Windows license with their Microsoft Account?

    It's my understanding that Windows product keys are associated with specific Microsoft accounts now. I have changed hardware several times with my current Windows product key and each time, I install Windows and skip product key entry. Then, when I register my Microsoft account with Windows setup, it finds the key there and activates my Windows.

    But now I am giving/selling my computer to someone and they won't have access to my Microsoft account. How do I unlink that product key from my account and have it registered to the new owner when they install Windows (I am wiping the drives)?

    I have found some articles online, but they always seem to talk about taking a Windows product key to a new PC. This isn't the same. It's registered in my account and I want it to follow on to the new owner.

    Thanks

  3. Unlink an old android phone from my pc

    I go thru the suggested steps: Start - Settings - Phone - Unlink this PC.

    When I first open the "your phone" screen the old phone is listed. Not sure if the phone listed is suppose to be selectable or not, but my is not. When I select "Unlink this PC" the phone listed is removed. When I select "Add Phone" the old phone still
    shows. I have removed the old phone from my Microsoft Account. I have rebooted after unlink this pc but I still cannot remove my old phone.
