DMIEdit Method
This method works with Secure Boot and TPM enabled, but for the spoofing process, please disable Secure Boot, as explained in the Tutorial.
This method will most likely not work on ASUS motherboards or any motherboard with strong read/write protection.
Guide: Spoofing your HWID using DMIEdit
Before spoofing, make sure to review your current serial numbers and take a screenshot of them. Once you've finished spoofing, you can go back and compare the values to verify that the changes were successfully applied.
Step 0: Prepare
Before we begin spoofing, we first need to install all the required tools:
After downloading all the necessary tools, proceed to enter your BIOS and adjust the following settings:
Disable Secure Boot and clear the Secure Boot keys
Enable CSM (Compatibility Support Module)
Disable Fast Boot
Once you have successfully spoofed your HWID, you can revert these settings to your preferred configuration.
Step 1: Change Serials
We’re going to change several key serials, including the System UUID, System Serial Number, Processor Serial Number, and Motherboard Serial Number. However, DMIEdit allows you to modify much more — so don’t be afraid to explore and see what else you can customize.
System UUID:
Go to "[Type 001] — System Information"
Double Click "UUID" and click "Auto Generates system UUID", then hit "OK".
Next, click the icon that looks like a lightning bolt and is labeled 'All'. This will apply the changes you've made.
System Serial Number:
Go to "[Type 001] — System Information"
Double Click "Serial Number" and under "String Value: xxx", change your Serial Number
Next, click the icon that looks like a lightning bolt and is labeled 'All'. This will apply the changes you've made.
CPU Serial Number:
Go to "[Type 004] — Processor Information"
Double Click "Serial Number" and under "String Value: xxx", change your Serial Number
Next, click the icon that looks like a lightning bolt and is labeled 'All'. This will apply the changes you've made.
Motherboard Serial Number:
Go to "[Type 002] — Baseboard/Module Information"
Double Click "Serial Number" and under "String Value: xxx", change your Serial Number
Next, click the icon that looks like a lightning bolt and is labeled 'All'. This will apply the changes you've made.
Step 2: Post Spoofing
Now that your BIOS has been successfully spoofed, you can move on to other system identifiers, such as your MAC address, Volume ID, or Disk Serial Number. These values are often used by software and anti-cheat systems for hardware identification.
I'll cover how to spoof each of these as well. So if there's already a dedicated page or section on these topics, feel free to go ahead and complete them next.
You can now restore your original BIOS settings if you wish. This includes any custom configurations you had before flashing, such as Secure Boot, Secure Boot Keys, CSM and Fast Boot.
