Recovery seed will work on every device where you import the wallet and that is the actual purpose of recovery seed.
Before doing anything with your hard disk, just create a copy of the hard drive with another SSD or HDD so that your data is safe when you try to boot the hard drive with another system and it corrupts the wallet file.
But what you need to do is to create a new Electrum wallet and move all your funds back to the new address because the one who stole the laptop can access the funds too even if the system is password protected cause it won't take too long to brute force your laptop's password.
