Windows 10: My device was stolen and I can't locate it. If I remove it from my Microsoft account...

My device was stolen and I haven't been able to locate it on 'My Devices'. If I remove it from my Microsoft account devices will it remove the bitlocker encryption? Or will the bitlocker encryption remain regardless? Thanks for any info.

Laptop was stolen, how do I remove acces to my Microsoft account?


Sign in to account.live.com. If your device is listed like in screenshot 1, click 'See all'. On the next screen, if you've activated 'Locate device' you'll see it's location if it was signed in. The Remove laptop' option is highlighted. Good Luck.

Sign into your Microsoft account. There should be a "devices" tab towards the right. Open that tab and remove the device from the list. Also, change your Microsoft account password as recomended.

 

Should i remove the stolen device from my account?

Was your Laptop stolen (near) that location? It may still be near? (Sometimes thiefs are close by neighbours too.)

Changing the Password from your Microsoft Account is the most important thing now. You can
Lock your device with the Button that appears when you use
https://account.microsoft.com/ and click on the device in the list in the location page.
