Windows 10: Can I track my offline laptop in case of theft?

Hi,

I have recently set up a microsoft account for tracking my laptop in case of theft. I wanted to know will I be able to track my laptop if it is offline in case of theft or does the laptop have to be connected to the internet to be able to track?


Thanks,

:)

 

Location tracking with a laptop offline.

I am getting a used Dell e6430 with an SSD and windows 10 to use while travelling around Europe in a motorhome. With the death of Autoroute could someone advise me what offline maps i can download and what GPS receiver i can use so that i can see my location
and track to various places whilst i'm offline. I have this on my phone with maps but i cannot work out how to do this on a laptop. Thanks

 

Tracking a stolen laptop that is powered-off

Hi, I've recently got my newly bought laptop stolen in France (where I'm currently staying for exchange program). I've read through some posts regarding similar issues, but I just wanted to ask once more just to make sure.

Is there any way to track a laptop with the microsoft account? I know it is possible through 'find my device', but only for laptops that are powered-on. However, the stolen laptop was never turned on since the date of theft. Is is possible to track a turned-off
laptop or offline laptop?

just for your info, I have another laptop connected to same microsoft account. Could this laptop be used to find the stolen one that is powered-off? I'm desperate and ready to do anything

Thank you.

 

RetailDemo Offline Content?


Was cleaning up my 10162 install using cleanmgr. One option on the list was "RetailDemo Offline Content", it was 100MB. Not sure what this is, before I delete it. Suggestions?
