    Fot that to happen you need to hack the computer ID (SSID) number to another number I know how to do it but is proberly not allowed here on this forum because it is mainly used for hacked services and software so good luck bro

    Just to Spoof MAC Address of a NIC card used to activate a System { Physical Address of a Network Interface Card ] Plus Use VPN before trying to activate OS but be sure complete system resources admin access for VPN tunnel ie every activity OS try to use to activate a system with HWID.
    A most costly Statefull Hardware Firewall integerated into new generation routers will be of some more help to this too.

    There was older information since the early days of Windows 7 that while the HWID is calculated using a complex algorithm, changing only 1 component participating in the calculation would not change the activation information. This was probably done by dynamically updating the HWID on the activation servers by sensing a minor change and keeping the client device activated or reactivating it automatically with the updated information.
    Not sure if this information is still up to date or of any use currently, but it is worth doing further research or at least trying to modify 2 components at the same time and check if the machine ID is still recognised and the system activated. If the system loses activation, you would reach your goal, to have the same system, although changed and not having a hardware ID recognised by the activation servers.
    I would start with the C hard-drive uniqueid and change it. Next, try to change the MAC address of the NIC, let's say by removing a wi-fi adapter and replace it with another one if this is done on a physical machine or a lot easier in a VM. If you use a VM which is preferable, don't forget to take the snapshot of the working machine before doing anything else. ;)

    Procedure for listing uniqueid and changing it:

    Run cmd as Administrator
    Type:
    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk 0 (can be a different number but unlikely)
    uniqueid disk - this lists the current id - do not lose it as you may want to revert to it at some stage, because changing it is likely to make the system unbootable and require repairs
    uniqueid disk id=<new number using the same format here>

    Following the change of uniqueid, you may have to repair the installation by booting in a recovery environment and run in sequence:
    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    bootrec /rebuildbcd

    For GPT partitions, the commands are different.

    Those are basic steps and suggestions above.
    If any of them looks too complicated or unfamiliar, do not attempt them before having a reliable snapshot or proven to work backup and restore process or do not attempt at all.
    Please be aware that if you break your system and do not have a reliable backup and cannot bring it back, it is unlikely that anyone will assist you in fixing it. :D
