  1. Issues with locating stolen windows 10 laptop.


    My windows 10 laptop was stolen, I've added it to my Microsoft account. But when I try to locate it, I was so disappointed because when I log in to my account and click on the "devices" section it says it was not updated. Hey, Microsoft by the way, I've updated it a few days before it was stolen but now you are telling me you can't locate it? This function is not working at all.

  2. How can I track the location of a stolen laptop, windows 10 installed on it?

    Hello,

    My Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series, N7537 laptop has been stolen (robed actually). I was searching a way to find it out. But, I am shocked that nothing could help me. Every solution was telling about a per-installed app. But, the thief will be formatting my
    hard-disk for sure, if he wants to use it. Is there any way to find the location of the Windows 10 Laptops? At least history. I can see, my laptop is listed in my device list of my Microsoft account.

    Any sort of help to find the location of my laptop (at-least history of the location) is appreciated. Please don't suggest any Pre-installed software. You already know, I have no option to install it on my laptop.

    Appreciate your help.
