Hello, I would like to make my computer be completely new to any website or software or game. I know I have to change stuff like IP and MAC, but I need a complete reset, so I need to change all the data about my PC. Can anyone tell me all the values and such that I need to alter?
Im not sure exactly what you are trying to do... For websites, simply delete all cookies ... however not sure for your programs ... reinstall them I would guess...
Im guessing here I need to change my MAC, my User account name, my PC name, Hardware ID (Possible to change?), Disk Serial. But I am sure there is more.
Is there a reason why you are trying to do this? Yes I clean install will only change the software. Hardware ids will still stay the same.
I would like not to clean install windows, I have terabytes of info to backup (which makes it not possible).
Im not trying to ban evade anything if that is what you are asking, I want to clean up and make my PC like new without doing a clean install and buying hardware.
the only way to do what you are asking, down to serial numbers is to buy new equipment. The reason why we are asking is because what you are inquiring about is quite often tied to people that break laws with pcs. If you have TB of data you should have more than one hard drive. you do not have to erase every hard drive on a clean install.
I have not been breaking any laws lol, I remember being able to change my hard drive serial using a cmdl program. What is the max I can change without reinstalling, but maybe installing another windows to another disk wouldnt hurt.
I really do not understand why you would want or desire to do such a thing unless you are trying to cover digital finger prints.
