Windows 10: Sold My Old Computer - Unsure About Personal Accounts

I sold my old computer and I have manually deleted or uninstalled all programs and/or documents. I have also backed up my PC onto an external hard drive. I have a new computer and it seems that all or most of my previous programs and/or documents are there.

My concern is that while there are a wide variety of instructions on "what to do when it comes to resetting my old computer", I am still very concerned that if I do reset the older PC that my Microsoft and Google accounts will disappear. Therefore I won't be able to log into my new PC. I currently can because I have NOT reset my older PC or deleted any accounts.

Can anyone lead in the right direction or provide guidance to me on how I should proceed?

Signed Concerned.
