Many of us are aware of the tracking feature available on our Android and iOS devices, but very few are aware of the same type of feature available on Windows desktops and laptops. This may turn it on, but this feature does not allow you to perform actions such as remotely wiping or locking your Windows device. So now let's take a look at the process of enabling that feature on your Windows 10 laptops or PCs.

One thing to keep in mind before delving into the process is that this method only works with devices that have a GPS chip, a cellular connection, or any other similar means that helps the device determine its location.

Steps for enabling laptop tracking in Windows 10
  • As a first step, you should make sure that the location services on your device are on. You can do that by searching for Location privacy settings
  • You can just select the result found and then check whether the location of your device is on. If not turned on just toggle the button
  • Once the location is on, open the start menu and search for Find My Device
  • Select the option from the results found and toggle the switch to turn it on
  • Now, you are done with setting up the things in your device
  • You can simply view your device on Microsoft’s website  and check the location of your device by clicking on the option Find My Device
  • It will show the location of your device on the map

Thus, this laptop tracking feature may come to your rescue at times.
