THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT CAN'T FIND TOOLS FOR THEIR MOTHERBOARDS
I tried every method on this board that I could access to change my mother board Serial, and UUID, but the changes never kept, and always changed back because I don't have the right versions of the tools, and neither is the cost of the tool worth it. So here's what you can do if you have a similar situation.
There is no reason to be worried what version of this flashing utility you need, because we're not flashing, we're just taking advantage of changing the board serial without flashing the BIOS, at a low level. This will work for ANY AMI BIOS and is done at an undetectable level. The modified Startup.nsh file will not FLASH your bios, it will only do a soft change on the serial for that boot of windows.
It doesn't matter what the heck kind of computer or bios you have, as long as it's AMI. We're avoiding direct links here, so bear with me.
Start off by searching "ThinkCentre M720 drivers" on google.
Click the first link for the Lenovo site and drivers.
There's a Tab menu in the middle of this page, Automatic Driver Update will be selected, click on Manual Update. Next click on BIOS/UEFI.
Click the dropdown box titled "Flash BIOS Update - ThinkCentre M720t, M720s, M720q, M920t, M920s, M920q, M920x, ThinkStation P330 Tiny"
Next go ahead and download the "BIOS Update (USB Drive Package)".
Format a USB drive to FAT32. Unzip the file you downloaded and drop all of the contents directly into your USB drive. Open the Startup.nsh file with a word editor and replace all contents with the following lines:
Code:
Take note that the segment in the file saying INSERT-SERIAL-HERE should be replaced with your desired serial number and INSERT-UUID-HERE should be replaced with your desired UUID, OR simply type AUTO to keep the UUID always fresh.
Final step is to setup your bios to boot onto your flash drive before it boots to windows.
There you go! Always spoofed. Just modify your USB startup.nsh any time you need a new serial.
