    Stolen Laptop/find my device


    My computer was stolen a month ago, I am able to track it down under the find my Device and it shows that it has not been turned on since they took it, and the battery still appears the same at 77%. I already turned on the option to lock it but it says it cannot do so because its off line, does this mean they haven't tried to turn on my device or they already wipe it, or jailbreak it?

    :)

    My laptop is stolen

    I was using a Lenovo Ideapad U410 laptop with windows 10 home. It was stolen in late november and due to the circumstances and I did not report it to the police. However I have a new laptop now with windows 10 and I use the same account with new passwords
    of course on my new laptop. But when I am configuring my new device for security I noticed my old device in the list of connected devices even though I changed the user account passwords. I like to know if it is possible to lock this device with the serial
    number provided on my account? can I track it? though the find my device option is off?

    For your reference I had trouble with the windows update of this device back in september and I communicated with the support team in details. It is the same device that is stolen. Hope to hear positive responses
