My laptop was stolen

Nepeta

Is there a way i can lock it well offline? If not i heard cyber support could help and if so does anyone have a link to their support team?

Very sad to hear that. I honestly don't know any way through which I could help you, but I sure did.

@Nepeta i honestly don't think you will be able to find it as who took it even if you have your windows passport connected there are easy ways to create a new admin account or change the current password with just a usb pen with the proper software and then unlink/delet your account permanently from the laptop for ex whne they steal your phone first thing they do is to switch it off and throw the sim in the bin its basically the same situation i am very sorry dunno the circustances of how it happened but an expensive gaming laptop should never be left unnatended when not in a safe place apart from being an expensive piece of hardware its the same as an expensive mobile its portable so anyone can take it at any time unfortunately there is nothing you can do in my view unless you insured it for theft and fet some money back from the insurance company nothing left to do and @yason that option that you gave might work and might not personally for me it wouldn't as i would never link windows with my ms account too dangerous due to privacy issues all my OS either 7 or 10 are on local user account and also getting your windows account synched with your OS is bad as it make loads of processes in background which are always sending data and reports through windows services slowing down your performance and causing thermal issues this is why windows needs to be optimized in all gaming laptops to disable all useless background MS services/apps

All security can pretty much be broken - only thing you could possibly avoid is your data being looked into.

When you have any important documents, keep them on a drive outside of your laptop - and ensure the drive is encrypted. Or install any software that allows for encrypted file system, like bitlocker or truecrypt or alike, to create an area on disk that is encrypted and store your documents only there. Other non critical data like movies n games can go wherever. And make sure to store that encrypted file to disk at regular intervals. (I personally do not trust one drive or any online service for that matter since pretty much anything can be hacked sooner or later, and prefer my data on an encrypted drive physically with me.)
