How to Use Find My Device for Windows 10 PCs


The Find My Device feature is now included for Windows 10 PCs starting in Windows 10 build 10565.

Find My Device for Windows 10 PCs, like Find My Phone for Windows 10 Mobile phones, will allow Microsoft to save your device's GPS location periodically. This way if you lose your device, or your device gets stolen, you will be able to see it's last known location in Your devices online at Microsoft for the same Microsoft account you sign in to the device with.

Find My Device online requires that you have turned on Find My Device on your Windows 10 PC on a map.

If you have Find My Device turned on, your device will update its location periodically if it's connected to the internet.

This tutorial will show you how to use Find My Device to see the last known location of your Windows 10 PC.



Here's How:

1. Go to the account.microsoft.com/devices website at Microsoft, and sign in with your Microsoft account that you also use to sign in to the Windows 10 device you want to remotely lock.

2. Click/tap on the Show details or Manage link of the Windows 10 device you want to remotely lock. (see screenshots below)





3. Click/tap on the Find my device link for the device. (see screenshot below)

*note If Find my device is currently turned off for this device, this will turn it on for the device if online.



4. If location for this device is currently turned off, then click/tap on the Enable location link to turn on location for this device if online. (see screenshot below)



5. You will now see the last seen at timestamp and location of your Windows 10 device on a map. (see screenshot below)

*note Your device only sends its location if it’s connected to the Internet.

You will be able to drag and zoom in and out of the map as needed.

If you locate your device and want to prevent anyone from using it or seeing your files, you can click/tap on the Lock button to remotely lock it.



6. The Windows 10 PC you tried to locate will now get a notification about this action. Clicking on the notification will close it and open to the Your devices website at Microsoft. (see screenshot below)




That's it,
Shawn

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
