User level: Level 1 (4 points)on a MacBook Pro macOS Tahoe 26.4.1. This was my computer and the device name has my contacts connected to it. The Apple ID was changed to my husbands id as he is now
using this computer. All of my contacts keep syncing with his iPhone and iPad. My Apple ID for my iPhone and iPad are not associated with this account. How can I keep my contacts from syncing with his iPhone and iPad?

You and your husband need separate Mac Local User Accounts.
Each user account will be associated with your own separate Apple Accounts.

I do not use this Mac anymore so I want all of my information removed. I guess the only way to do this is to reset it. I just wish I could leave the windows on the computer
thank you for the help

Thank you. Will this remove my information from the windows 11 side of the Mac as well without losing the windows 11?

That is a completely different ball of wax.
This will remove everything from the Mac. Everything. Including Windows.
