Product: HP Notebook-15-af131dx(Energy Star)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I would like to know if it is possible to remotely lock my pc. My laptop is missing and I would like to do as much as I can to protect it if it gets into a thiefs hands. Please help asap.

Thank you

If you were signed into your device using a Microsoft account (you would know because your login screen would have shown an email address or you would be using a PIN code), then you can follow these instructions from Microsoft:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/11579/microsoft-account-find-and-lock-lost-windows-device

But, if you were signed in to your device using a local account, then you are basically out of luck.
