If I use my home broadband connection on office laptop in private browsing, will my Company still get a record of my browsing history?
I am using my home broadband connection, but on my office laptop. I browse in private window. but there it writes that ,"your employer or internet service provider will be able to track a record of your browsing history." Though I don't use my company internet, will my company be still able to know my browsing history bcoz I am using office laptop?

It is possible that all connections might be routed thru your company even when using a different service provider; although the probability is very low unless your company has US government contracts that involve "security related" work.
One way to tell is to visit this website and see what it "reads" as your current location. http://whatismyipaddress.com/
Another way would be to see if a Proxy is being used for all connections. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server
Although that isn't a foolproof way of finding out if you are being "tracked" when using a company owned device. Cheaper to own your own computer, than using a company owned computer in a manner they would object to and losing a job over it.
