Hello alig_big,


We see you're looking to sign out of your Apple ID on your older Mac, and we can help out there.


To sign out, head on the older Mac to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Apple ID > Overview tab > Sign Out. This will sign you out and ask if you wish to keep a copy of some data on the Mac. You can choose to not have it keep a copy on the Mac when it prompts, if you don't wish for that particular Mac to retain the data. This won't remove the data from the new Mac.


Cheers.
