Hardware-Prep Guide
Follow every step in order and in full so the spoofer runs cleanly. This guide is only for users who purchased the HWID Spoofer.
Clean install Windows 10
Install Windows 10 from scratch, using the original image from Microsoft's own site. On the drive screen, delete every disk and partition, then continue the install.
On another PC, open Microsoft's Windows 10 download page and take the Media Creation Tool. Only Microsoft's own image is accepted; no custom ISOs. You need an empty USB stick of 8 GB or more.
Update the BIOS
The BIOS file and the flashing tool differ by manufacturer. Pick your motherboard; the steps below use that brand's site and its own flash tool. The same choice carries over to step 3.
Press Win + R, type msinfo32 and read BaseBoard Product. The same name is printed on the board itself and on its box. You need it letter for letter, including suffixes like WIFI or PLUS.
Disable TPM & Secure Boot
Both settings live in the BIOS, in a different menu on every board. The screens below are drawn with your BIOS's own tab names and colours, and the row you have to change is highlighted. Use the Intel / AMD switch to match your processor.
Press the key repeatedly from the moment the screen lights up until UEFI BIOS Utility appears. If Windows loads instead, restart and start tapping earlier.
Disable Windows Defender
Tools that attach to a game process are a routine false positive for Defender, so it needs to stay off during setup.
Open Windows Security from Start, go to Virus & threat protection, click Manage settings and switch Real-time protection off. Windows turns it back on by itself later, which is why the next sub-steps exist.
Verify the state
Confirm Secure Boot and TPM are actually off:
Press Win + R, type msinfo32 and press Enter. In the list find Secure Boot State. It must read Off. "Unsupported" also passes. "On" means step 3 did not stick: go back to it.
Don't install the game yet
Do not install any game until every step above is done. When the prep is finished, reach out to us and we will take it from there.
Install the runtime libraries
Some builds need extra runtime DLLs. Install them only from Microsoft's official source:
Open Microsoft's Visual C++ Redistributable page and download both files under "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022": X64 and X86. Builds need both, even on a 64-bit Windows.
You're Set
When every step is done, open the loader from your portal and run it. If the loader gives you any trouble, open a ticket in our Discord — that is the fastest way to reach us.
