How can i change my HWID?

Is there a way to change my HWID?
Hi,
Are you talking about hardware ID? If yes, the only way is to change or upgrade hardware. Hardware ID is calculated from devices' IDs and user has no influence to this process unfortunately.

Hi Real_Luzu

Please explain, why you need to change your HWID, is that for hacking games?

In all honesty it is a really bad thing to do to change your HWID, most of the software on your PC, including Windows may kick out and will refuse to activate if you change your HWID

If you do want to go ahead and do that:

Click your Start Button, type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor

Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on

Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\IDConfigDB\Hardware Profiles\0001

The key you are looking is on the right hand side - HWProfileGuid

I wanted to know if it was possible and how.

Not for "hacking" games.

Hi Real_Luzu,

The only reason I mentioned that 'hacking' reference is because changing the HWID does not work any more for that purpose and is a dangerous thing to do . . .
