Not just a very brilliant idea, not even if it's a stolen computer. You can only change it once and only if it hasn't been activated yet. If it came already activated from the factory, you can only replace the motherboard where it is not still activated, but you can't deactivate computrace on this computer. Many have tried all kinds of tricks, but the result is either a non-working computer or a replacement of the motherboard. But You can try, maybe will have success.
