I am selling my desktop computer w/Win 11 home installed. It originally had W10 Home, but I updated to W11. I wiped the SSD with diskpart's "clean all" command and removed the machine from my MS account. Is there anything else I need to do to do to safely pass it on? Is simply removing it from my MS account enough to keep someone wise enough from accessing my account thru that PC? What happens to my tie to that activation key when I remove it from the MS account? It's still seems W11 is activated. Like it must still be associated with the account somehow, no?
