Stolen windows pc and its relation to a PIN

Does Microsoft have the means of detaching a device (Windows PC) from my Microsoft account?

In the world of multi factor authentication, the PIN has a relationship to a device which than Microsoft relates the 2 (device and PIN) to the account providing another layer of security. What is the recommendation course of action if a PC is stolen? Is
there a way to shut down the local account on that computer that is tied to that "Microsoft" account?

My college enrolled daughter had her PC stolen. We have a MS O365 account for the family. She logged onto that computer without a PIN and just a local account. Despite asking her to spend a minute to tie that account to her Microsoft account, I don't
think that was done. I have removed that computer from my office installation page, but that might not stop the thief from trying to hack her Microsoft account, if they can get into the computer. Of course, now, on her new laptop, she has the pin setup so
her account is tied to that PIN and the device which will provide an obstacle for the thief to get into her account on Microsoft, but still doesn't help on the stolen laptop. Is there anything we should do to further protect her account from being hacked
through the stolen computer?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

We can't help you with your stolen laptop.

I suggest that you report it to the Police.
