MISSING ASUS LAPTOP DEVICE REGISTRATION WITH MICROSOFT ACCOUNT

Hi, JayKimTF

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



Yes, you can use the Microsoft account to register your lost laptop device, even if you did not create a Microsoft account when you bought the laptop in 2020. You can use the S/N (serial number) and model number to register with the new Microsoft account that you created.

Here are the steps on how to register your lost laptop device with a Microsoft account using the S/N and model number:

• Go to the Microsoft account | Devices website and sign in to your account.
  
• Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner and select “View Microsoft account.”
  
• Click on the “Devices” tab.
  
• Click on the “Register a new device” button.
  
• Select “Laptop” as the device type.
  
• Enter the S/N and model number of your lost laptop.
  
• Click on the “Register” button.
  

Once you have registered your lost laptop device with your Microsoft account, you can use the “Find my device” feature to try to locate it.





Here are the steps on how to use the “Find my device” feature:

• Go to the Microsoft Account website and sign in to your account.
  
• Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner and select “View Microsoft account.”
  
• Click on the “Devices” tab.
  
• Find your lost laptop device in the list of devices and click on it.
  
• Click on the “Find my device” button.
  

If your lost laptop device is turned on and connected to the internet, the “Find my device” feature will show you its location on a map. You can also use the feature to remotely lock or wipe your device.

Note:

• If you are unable to find your lost laptop device using the “Find my device” feature, you can contact Asus customer support for assistance.
  
• You can also file a police report about your lost laptop device.
