Windows 10: HP Laptop 15-fd0xxx stolen

about 3 days ago , my HP-fd0xxx Windows 11 laptop was stolen. I believe the thief to be a friend, so he may know my boot PIN to access my computer files. How should I proceed? If nothing else i'd like to be able to just brick the machine so nobody can gain access to my sensitive information. Thanks in advance. BTW my laptop is under warranty until January 2025.

We can't help you with your stolen laptop.

I suggest that you report it to the Police.

And we don't work for Microsoft.

Stolen Laptop

I had an HP Omen 15 stolen from me a couple months ago. I have already filed a police report and done whatever I can to try and locate it. I have the serial number of the laptop. Is there any way that Microsoft can see the details of the laptop such as if it has been turned on or connected to wifi? If Microsoft was able to get that information could I have my local court subpoena it?

 

How to reset BIOS F.60 on HP Laptop 15-bs111ur?

A couple of months ago I updated BIOS of my HP Laptop 15-bs111ur on F.60. I am sure that I downloaded F.60 from the official website. Around the same time, after BIOS upgrading I started to hear loud fan noise. I performed many steps to fix it:

1. Updated all drivers;
   
2. Reinstalled Windows 10 Home Edition;
   
3. Used all tests from HP Support Assistant;
   
4. Thermal paste was replaced;
   
5. The fan was replaced (yes, I even installed a new fan for CPU).
   

Nothing helped.

Recently, I noticed, that F.60 version was gone from the list of versions supported for my bs-111ur. And now, obviously, I am pretty sure BIOS should be reset. I tried to reset BIOS with the following ways:

• Reset a laptop with a removable battery;
  
• Win+B+Power button: HP BIOS Update screen does not display;
  
• Reset the CMOS using Win+V+Power button: reset was successfully executed.
  However, BIOS is still F.60 version, and I am still can not reset it via "Win+B+Power button".
  
• Recover the BIOS using a USB recovery drive: HP BIOS Update does
  not display.
  

How I can reset BIOS? Or maybe there is some way to downgrade F.60 on F.52?
