Two problems here.
1. If the laptop has been stolen, you obviously cannot go into a command prompt and look up any info.
2. Only WWAN cards/mobile devices have an IMEI number. Your laptop does not have IMEI since it didnt come with a mobile card. Wifi cards dont qualify.
You do have a serial number though and it will be posted on a lable that is on the box the laptop came in.
You will need that serial number to report it to the police.

@Gedizzo , welcome back to the forum.
Here is a guide that will help you find the IMEI number. The guide is for Win 7 and Win 8, but I believe that it will work for Win 10, also.
