Windows 10: I had my laptop stolen a while ago and I am curious about how locking it would work since I...

So I had my laptop stolen a while back ago and had found out the it was fenced at a tech shop near my home. The only weird thing is that I couldn’t find it using the system that Microsoft had, so I had assumed that it had been wiped down at some point. I had given up hope after me and the police went to the store and they said it was clean when they had received it so it was a lost cause. Only issue is that I got a notification that it showed up in India, so my question is would it still show up in my system if it had been completely cleaned up or does it still have some of my old information

Can I lock my stolen laptop !

Is it possible to lock my stolen Laptop I've tried to on my account devices but doesn't seem to work ?

 

stolen windows 10 laptop.

My Acer Aspire laptop running Windows 10 64 bit was stolen Saturday morning.

Device has not been turned on, or connected since it was stolen. I went to Microsoft support site and it showed the last location that my laptop was used at. I clicked on Lock button. Microsoft said they can't locate my device, but will send me an email
when my laptop has been detected. Will Microsoft automatically Lock my laptop when it has been activated, and connected to internet, or will i have to go back to the support site and click on lock button again? What exactly happens when Microsoft locks a stolen
device, does it make it difficult for thieves to access my laptop. Does Microsoft have the capability to remote wipe the hard-drive of my laptop, using port to port process? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially advice on any options for
wiping the hard-drive of my laptop using port to port, or software. I have no tracking software

installed on laptop.

Many thanks for your suggestions,

Christoph
