How do I change new laptop to stand alone.

I set up a new computer using my existing Microsoft account and chose set up as new computer. I do not want this computer exchanging information with my other computer and laptop and have purchased a code to download Office 2024 rather than Office365 How do I separate these at this point. Perhaps set up a new Microsoft account with a different email? How would I do that?

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

The OneDrive app is syncing your data between the devices if you have that enabled on both devices and use the same Microsoft account on both devices.

If you do not want that syncing to happen, then either sign out of the OneDrive app and uninstall OneDrive from one of the devices, or create a new Microsoft account to use on the new device.

Do not delete any of the files that synced to the new device until you have disabled OneDrive syncing, otherwise the files would also be deleted form the other device.
