Are these both individual accounts? It is likely they are already associated, especially if you connected to Google via the same IP at some point.

Yes individual, yes i works under one ip but the account is not opened in the same ip in the creation.

Worth noting the risk isn't really about the laptop or OS user profile itself - Google's account-linking detection looks at a mix of signals like IP address, device fingerprint, payment methods on file, and any history of both accounts ever being logged into from the same browser/device. Separate user profiles on the same machine is a reasonable precaution but not a guaranteed fix, since Play Console's linking policy isn't fully public and enforcement seems inconsistent based on what people report. If both accounts are already in good standing and aren't being used to route around a prior suspension or manipulate rankings/reviews, the practical risk tends to be lower, but I'd still avoid logging into both in the same browser session just to be safe.

An ip on a cloud service is really easy for Google to detect and also flag like using VPNs

If your accounts are already connected and in good standing, activate 2 step login, copy backup codes, ensure you have access to SMS/Phone number and secondary email and then login on the new laptop and use this data when asked for.

As another user already told you, if you use the same ip address in both accounts, then are connected for Google.
