Microsoft’s  Windows 10 November update  brings with it a handy “find my device” feature, but it’s not just for tablets or phones. Any Windows 10 device can take advantage of the new feature, including desktops and laptops. Find My Device in Windows 10 doesn’t do a whole lot right now. There isn’t a way to have your tablet make a sound, lock itself, erase data, or anything like that. Instead, you can only find out where its last known general location was.

Once you click  Change  you’ll see a pop-up panel that says “Save my device’s location periodically.” Turn the slider to  On  and you’re done. Fin
