Prey tracks the location of laptops, phones, and tablets. The program ensures that you can quickly react to unauthorized movements (read: your laptop gets stolen) with geofencing.
Prey is therefore is a program that should be on every system.
But Prey also leaves a lot of debris with every update (or even install). That debris accumulates and will use an increasing amount of megabytes.
Microsoft also offers a free device location service. Prey Helper shows you the current status of it and allows you to enable or disable this service.
Windows Find My Device can be an interesting backup if and when the thief succeeds in detecting and removing Prey from your laptop.
Also, why would you want to install Prey with all its debris when Microsoft has a perfect built-in alternative?
You might get the warning 'Some Settings are Managed by Your Organisation', which is the result of you having changed some strange Windows settings. To revert those changes, you can download and use O&O ShutUp10++. Click "Actions" > "Undo all changes ("Factory Settings")".
