    Stolen laptop and find my device


    My laptop was stolen and I looked on Find My Device and the tracking has been off. I wanted to turn it on but it says can not reach the device. Is there a way to make it turn on as soon as the laptop gets network? Also, if they factory data reset the device through the boot up method, does it remove my ability to track it?

    :)

    We can't help you with your stolen laptop.

    I suggest that you report it to the Police.

    And we don't work for Microsoft.
