    Greetings, So my ASUS laptop got stolen, I know the fact that I will never see it again and thats okey. But its really unfair the fact that they will be able to use it. Yes I reported to police and yes I tried the find my device feature in MS account but come on, we all know that it is useless because they will format it via a cd/usb.I believe, It is necessary to create a feature in Windows OS that will identify the serial number of a stolen product and block 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.

    Stolen laptop and other device

    stolen windows 10 laptop.

    My Acer Aspire laptop running Windows 10 64 bit was stolen Saturday morning.

    Device has not been turned on, or connected since it was stolen. I went to Microsoft support site and it showed the last location that my laptop was used at. I clicked on Lock button. Microsoft said they can't locate my device, but will send me an email
    when my laptop has been detected. Will Microsoft automatically Lock my laptop when it has been activated, and connected to internet, or will i have to go back to the support site and click on lock button again? What exactly happens when Microsoft locks a stolen
    device, does it make it difficult for thieves to access my laptop. Does Microsoft have the capability to remote wipe the hard-drive of my laptop, using port to port process? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially advice on any options for
    wiping the hard-drive of my laptop using port to port, or software. I have no tracking software

    installed on laptop.

    Many thanks for your suggestions,

    Christoph
