how to turn on Find My after using Migration Assistant on new laptop

I bought another MacBook (Air this time) and migrated everything from the MacBook Pro that was getting too old to use (it was from 2017, and I think it should still function, but that is another type of question to Apple, about durability and sustainability). Everything went fine except for that the Find My function did not turn on within the new MacBook Air. How do I keep both devices on my account and, in other words, how do I also turn on Find My for this new laptop?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.6

So I figured this out on my own. First of all, check if your Location Services is turned on (it wasn't in my case), use this link to get more info: Manage Location Services settings - Apple Support. Only then you can go to the Find My app (Apps using iCloud) under your iCloud ID, and turn it on. Check here for more info on the last step: Set up Find My on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac - Apple Support
