    SERIAL NUMBER OF STOLEN LAPTOP .


    In this day and age of you would think that it would be possible to track a stolen laptop by it's serial number . even if the hard drive is completely cleared the actual hardware still has the same serial number . Wouldn't the device manufacture IE.. HP have a list of info if the device is registered or if Win 10 is reinstalled ??



    thanks in advance

    shred head

    Track a stolen laptop via serial number?

    A while ago, one of my devices on my Microsoft account was stolen. Since Find My Device was never turned on by default, is there a way to track down what happened to it by the serial number?

    Hi Chris,

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the serial number is hardly trackable, there are no elements as to getting it tracked that way, Find My Device goes a long way in helping you and I recommend you turn it on in all of your devices for the foreseeable
    future. I recommend you contact your local police, report the device as stolen using that serial number, as it's a big help to finding it.

    Hope this helps a bit, I'm sorry about your device and I hope you can get it back.
