  1. Removing vs Unlinking MS Account on Stolen Laptop


    My Laptop has recently been stolen and I want to remove my Microsoft Account from the stolen laptop. If I unlink my device will it do that? If not is there a way to remove my account from the stolen device so whoever took my laptop can't use any MS Products?

    :)

    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.
