Windows 10: I've used a hwid spoofer in the past, but this was not a permanent hwid spoofer. Meaning...

My brother gave me this computer in december of 2020 , and bought the activation key online and was delievered the key through email. Of course this would be extremely hard to find. I'm looking to reactivate my pc, I've clean reboot, reboot from cloud, etc etc. troubleshooter doesn't work, and I'm getting frustrated. I'm scared to buy another windows key in fear it'll just do the same thing.

Hi Swout

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

If you used a HWID Spoofer to change the HWID of your PC, did you note down the original HWID before you changed it?

If you change the HWID of your PC, then the Windows Activation Service will see that as a different PC and will self-deactivate, those websites really need to warn users about this

Each device has a unique HWID, that is generated from the Motherboard and MAC Address of the device

I honestly do not know a way to revert to the original HWID, unless that Spoofer you used has a method to revert your HWID

 

HWID

Hi gaby.L0,



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



It sounds like you are wondering if the HWID can be changed after once done by a spoofer. First, allow me to clarify that it's strongly not recommended to change the HWID since it's dangerous behavior. Then, as far as I know, the only possible way for natural changing of the HWID is by changing the hardware.

If you have more queries about the possibility by the Spoofer, it is kindly advised that you inquire its manufacturer where a more in-depth investigation can be done there so that you can get a more satisfactory explanation and solution to this problem.



Feel free to reach back if you need further assistance.
