Windows 10X feature will stop thieves using your laptop

Windows 10X features

The Microsoft Windows 10x feature will include an anti-theft security option that prevents laptop thieves from resetting the device to make it their own.

To reset a Windows 10x laptop, a thief would need your login details to sign in to the original account you created when you bought the device.

Without access, thieves would be permanently locked out of the laptop. Also, the ‘Find my device’ feature would keep running, helping you locate it. This protection will be turned off by default, so you would need to enable it

Windows 10x version with updated features is expected to launch in the coming months. This new version will come pre-installed on new devices. To get Windows 10x you’ll have to buy a new laptop running it. You won’t be able to switch to it from your existing Windows 10 computer.
