If the device was removed from the Microsoft account device list, the context does not provide a way to recover or view its last location afterward.
Supported facts:
- Find my device only works if it was already enabled before the theft.
- It requires signing in to the device with a Microsoft personal account and that account must be an Administrator on the device.
- The device location can be found from https://account.microsoft.com/devices by selecting Find My Device and then Find.
- If the device comes online again, location updates depend on it being connected to the Internet.
- If the device is still available in the account, it can be remotely locked.
- For added security, change the Microsoft account password and review recent sign-in activity.
Steps to take now:
- Go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices and check whether the laptop still appears.
- If it appears, open Find My Device and select Find.
- If it appears on the map, select Lock to lock it remotely.
- Check recent sign-in activity at https://account.live.com/Activity.
- Change the Microsoft account password and update security settings.
- If sign-in is blocked, use the Sign-in helper.
- Report the theft to local law enforcement and the insurance company.
