I cannot find my Mac Book Pro in my account. I haven't used it in a few years but I had purchased it around 2020.

Re: "How do I locate an inactive MacBook Pro in my Apple Account?"
Wondering whether or not the MBP has been removed from your device list. ie: You can check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in:

If needed: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support

If it is not in your list of devices— not possible.
Boot the Mac up and add it back in

Did you ever remove it from your Apple Account's device list? Did you ever remove your Apple ID from Preferences (aka Settings) in the MBPro?
Is the MBPro in your possession? Have you charged the battery, booted it and connected it to the internet? Is your Apple Account associated with the MBPro (see Settings > Apple ID on the MBPro) After doing so, does it show up in your Apple Account?
