Turning off Find My before selling my M1 MacBook Pro
Can't turn off Find My using M1 MacBook Pro running Sequoia 15.7.2. Repeatedly unable to toggle Find My to off; instead it opens Energy Saver?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.7

Thanks, Bob - I was aware of that. However, the company I'm dealing with, SELLYOURMAC, specifically requires turning off Find My or else the machine will not be accepted. I've tried several times to turn it off without success.
If you follow the instructions in the link Bob provided, those steps (either signing out of iCloud on the device, or Erase All Content and Settings) will disable Find My.
Thanks, Steve. I did that and I think it's working. I logged into the Find My app on another MacBook Pro and was able to remove the M1 MacBook.
