What is best method for replacing Win7 pc with Win10 pc and OneDrive files synching

I am finally replacing old pc (Win7) with a new pc (Win10). Old pc set up with OneDrive for Business with MS 365 Business Basic email/license.

Have files in OneDrive folder set to syc to BOTH cloud and pc. This acts as internal fileserver for small company and shared with employees to access on cloud.

Do I need to set up new pc with SAME MS account only or also with same pc name (for networking)?

Do I unlink old pc under OneDrive settings? Then setup OneDrive on new pc?

Will files on cloud be confused with files on new pc? I have backed up files on old pc to external drive and plan to manually transfer to new pc.

What do you suggest?
