Dec 19, 2015 6:26 PM in response to dashfromportorchardby FoxFifth,A computer does not have GPS or a cellular connection like a phone does and those are two of the technologies that can be used to determine the location of a device. A 3rd method is by comparing the wi-fi signal that the computer is receiving against a database of known approximate locations of devices emitting wi-fi signals. If wi-fi isn't on or if there aren't any know signals in the area then that method won't work either.
