Windows 10: Windows license status after unlink device

So I want to give my laptop to my nephew. I have read this article but wondering about the Windows license. After I remove my device from my account and reset the device, can the new owner use it like it’s a brand new laptop? My nephew already have another Windows linked to his account, so it just like adding another device or there’s something else I and he should do during the process?
