If you’d like to be able to locate and lock your Windows 11 PC when it’s lost or stolen, turn on the Find My Device option on it. We’ll tell you how the feature works, how to turn it on, and how to find your missing device with it.
What Is Find My Device on Windows 11?
Find My Device is a built-in Windows 11 feature that lets you track your PC’s location. Think of it as Apple’s Find My feature but for Windows.
Once turned on, you can use your Microsoft account to track your Windows 11 PC on a map. You can even lock the PC so anyone who finds it can’t access your data. The feature also lets you display a message on the lost device, so if someone finds the device, they can return it to you.
