Hwid spoofer destroyed PC

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

There are two types of utility, a HWID Spoofer and a HWID Changer, they both change the HWID of the PC and will cause Windows to become deactivated, a spoofer usually does not permanently change the HWID, so it may or may not be possible to fix this if you used a HWID Spoofer, but the only method is to backup your personal files and clean install Windows 10 from a bootable USB.

Click this link:

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool

Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS) to begin installing Windows 10

During the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 10 on this PC'.

Hi Connor_150，

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

It sounds like you've encountered a serious issue with your computer's software after using a HWID spoofer. Hardware ID (HWID) spoofers are risky tools that can have unintended consequences, as you've experienced. Here's a step-by-step approach to try and resolve the issue:

Assessing the Damage

1. Check for Malware: The first concern with downloading and using third-party tools like HWID spoofers is the potential for malware. Run a thorough antivirus scan to ensure your system hasn't been compromised.
   
2. Error Message Analysis: Understanding the specific error message you're receiving when attempting to activate Windows can be helpful. If you can provide the exact error code or message, I might be able to offer more targeted advice.
   

Attempting to Fix Windows Activation

1. Troubleshoot Activation: In the Windows Activation settings, there's often a 'Troubleshoot' option. This can sometimes resolve common activation issues.
   
2. Windows Update: Ensure your Windows is up to date. Sometimes, updating the system can resolve activation issues.
   
3. System Restore: If you have a system restore point set before you used the spoofer, you can try restoring your system to that point. This might reverse the changes made by the spoofer.
   
4. Contact Microsoft Support: If the above steps don't work, contact Microsoft Support. They might be able to assist with reactivating Windows if you explain your situation. However, be cautious about mentioning the use of a HWID spoofer, as this is against most software EULAs.
   

Regarding the Game Ban

1. Appealing the Ban: If you believe the ban was unjust, you can try contacting the game's support team and appeal the ban, explaining your situation.
   
2. Learn from the Experience: Using spoofers or other methods to circumvent bans is generally against the terms of service of most games and can lead to more severe consequences. It's important to adhere to the rules and guidelines set by the game developers.
   

Future Precautions

• Avoid Third-Party Tools: Avoid using unofficial tools or software that promise to circumvent system restrictions.
  
• Backups: Regularly back up your data to avoid losing important information in such situations.
  
• Stay Informed: Understand the risks associated with modifying hardware IDs or using unofficial software to alter your system's settings.
