Unable to turn on Find My Mac on my MacBook Pro

I can't turn on the find mac feature. When I try to enable the feature, the name of the account appears, which is no longer valid.

MacBookPro has 'Find My' active, but the Device Info says NO Hello. My MacBookPro (M1), running Sequoia 15.4 (latest), is not showing up on the Devices List on Find My application, or in the iCloud. I've logged in into iCloud on the device, using the same iCloud credentials I always use with any Apple device. All other devices are listed except this one. Find My Mac is enabled in the iCloud settings: It is also enabled under Location Services: I've rebooted the device, logged out from iCloud, logged in again, rebooted again, all without success. The Device Info keeps showing Find My Mac as OFF: Any suggestion to troubleshoot this is welcome. Thank you!

Find My Mac does not turn on I can't find a way to turn the Find My Mac on on my Mac Air. I followed the Apple Support instructions: The Location Services are on: On my iCloud Find My Mac is turned on: I tried the Mac reboot, the Find my turn off/on, but no success. All my other devices are good and I can see them. Any suggestions? Thanks! Marco

I bought a device from another person a few years ago. Before the sale, the seller performed a full reset with erasure. After that, I logged into my Apple id and have been using it for a long time. The previous owner also deleted his account and it is no longer active.
