How to Enable Tracker is in Your Windows Laptop

While you already know that your Android and iOS devices have a feature that allows you to track them remotely, did you know that there is a similar feature for Windows as well? Before you get too excited, let me tell you that this feature does not yet allow you to perform actions like remotely wiping or locking your Windows device. So, if you are not primarily looking for that, here is how to enable the Windows laptop tracking feature:

Procedure To Enable the Windows Laptop Tracking Feature

Before you find out how to enable this feature, it is important to note that it works only on devices that have a GPS chip, a cellular connection, or any other means that can help the device determine its location. Once that is noted, you can follow the steps below.

  • Firstly, you’ll have to make sure that the location services for your device is on. For that, open the start menu and search for “Location privacy settings.”

  • After clicking on this, you’ll be able to check whether the location for your device is on. If not, click on “Change” under “Location”, and toggle this setting on.
