1. You are selling the old PC with no OS license. Be sure the new owner realizes this.

2. Yes, linking the OS license to your microsoft account works.
When it fails to activate with the new hardware, you go through the Activation Troubleshooter.
It may take a couple of days to contact the activation server farm correctly, but it will, eventually.

3. Be sure you fully wipe the hard drive in the PC you are selling.

1. You log on with your Microsoft account, and under Settings/Activation, it should tell you that it is linked to your MS account

2. If you're selling the PC, I would go with a full wipe with DBAN.. Completely wipe the drive so there is no trace of you left on it.
