Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

If you had Location Services enabled on your laptop and also the 'Find My Device' setting enabled, log into your Microsoft account on this link, then click the 'Find My Device' tab, select the device you want to find, and click 'Find' to see a map that may indicate your laptop's location.

How to Find a device if it's lost or stolen

Quote

Find My Device is a feature that can help you locate your Windows 10/11 device if it's lost or stolen...This feature ONLY works when location is TURNED ON for your device, even if other users on the device have turned off location settings for their apps.

To use this feature, sign in to your device with a Microsoft account as an administrator on it.

  • Go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices and sign in.
  • Select the Find My Device tab.
  • Choose the device you want to find, and then select Find to see a map showing your device's location.
