Windows 10: I'm selling a desktop and resetting it

I have a PC that I am resetting to sell to someone. When I reset it, do I need to use my Microsoft email and password to install windows or can I create a new account and keep the same 64bit OS on the computer? Or, if I sign in, will that jeopardize me in anyways to have someone else that is using my Windows? How should I go about doing this?

Resetting a PC to sell on


Am thinking of selling on my laptop - what is the best approach to getting it ready for that - should I reset the PC under the settings / options? Obviously I will not keep to choose any personal files and I will make sure our office 365 currently installed on it is uninstalled and removed before selling on. Presumably that option to 'reset this pc' will return it to how it was when I turned it on the first time having been delivered from the manufacturer?

Once reset, what happens to the laptop which is listed under 'Devices' if I view my Microsoft account in a browser. At the moment I see my current desktop and this laptop listed under devices. Will it automatically dis-associate itself from my account and disappear from this list or will I need to remove it? We have a family account setup, so the laptop also currently shows under 'devices' my wife's account and my son's child account. Will these also disappear? Basically once sold I do not want any trace of the laptop on our Microsoft accounts. Presumably there will be no unforeseen knock on effect for our MS accounts on our desktop which will be keeping.

Thanks,
Wayne

 

Resetting my computer to sell

I am trying to reset my HP Pavilion desktop computer to sell or give away. I followed the Windows 10 reset procedure, and it is trying to reset, but it is hung at 18% and hasn't moved for several hours. What should I do?

 

Pentium M

Not sure what I'm looking at. Though when I do go to Options and then CPU it lists my CPU
as Intel Pentium M processor 1.73 GHz, and then under that it lists speed: 799.9 MHz
and then features and cache size.I ran the benchmark test and don't understand all
those numbers, but while testing I checked CPUZ and it still says it is running at 800 MHz.
