HWID BAN

[yogurt]

Hey bought a new ssd, was wondering if I needed to reformat with a fresh copy of windows or can I use my old one? Thanks

You need to format. But this may not be a salvation. Because only disk id is not banned. It is also banned in other components such as your mac address.

What do you mean, I've read they just ban your harddrive.

What else is affected??? I was banned and buying account now, I've changed my SSD and reinstalled windows will that be enough?

I think not enough

Could be enough
They aren‘t always banning HWID anyways
Maybe you‘re lucky!
Good luck
