Windows 11 PC Reinstall

What should i do before windows reinstall with usb ?

I dont need any files backup so no need for that , but fron what i saw i need to install windows in usb from microsoft site and then wifi and audio drivers

Is there anything else too?

What about lenovo vantage and nvidia software , will it work like before after reinstall

The windows 11 license key is linked with a diff microsoft account which i will not use in new laptop and will sign in with other microsoft account

So what will happen to my windows key ?

    While Windows 11 can automatically install many drivers, it's wise to download essential drivers (Wi-Fi, audio, chipset, graphics) from Lenovo's support website beforehand, especially if network drivers are needed immediately after installation.
