    Hi,

    I need to change the UUID / SN / Manufacturer of my bios, since it is empty so far and some programs rely on the UUID to work.

    When i try to run DMIEdit, it fails with an SMBIOS error.

    Is there some sort of tool, where I can mod the existing bios and reflash it afterwards? I was able to dump the current bios. Since this box is from aliexpress, no other BIOS versions are available.

    Laptop or desktop? Who’s the BIOS manufacturer? Make/Model?
