As discussed in the documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-10-auto-pilot, you can harvest the hardware details from existing Windows 10 devices, then upload those to AutoPilot via the Microsoft Store for Business, the Partner Center, or Intune (coming soon). I published a PowerShell script called Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo to the PowerShell Gallery that helps with gathering that info and formatting it into a CSV-style file that can be uploaded.

In order to gather the hardware details, the device must be running Windows 10 1703 or later and the script needs to be run with admin rights (elevated when running locally). It can’t run on earlier versions of Windows, nor will it run in Windows PE.
It is possible to gather hardware details remotely, accessing WMI over the network, but the remote machine still needs to be running Windows 10 1703 or later. With the most recent script update published last week, you can optionally provide credentials for connecting to the remote machine (not supported for the local machine); just add the “-Credential” parameter (along with the -ComputerName parameter) and specify either a PSCredential object or a user ID (which would result in prompting for the password).
Feb 14, 2018 I think the OP wants to change the actual hardware ID of the computer itself which is calculated mostly from the motherboard serial number. It is the HWID that establishes the unique identity of the computer used to store and retrieve digital licenses of.
If you are trying to gather the hardware details remotely, you will need to make sure that the Windows Firewall enables access to WMI. To do that, open the “Windows Defender Firewall” control panel and click on “Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.” Find “Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)” in the list and enable for both Private and Public, then click OK:
Or you can do the same thing via Group Policy – nothing special about what the script is doing, it just needs remote WMI access to the classes that contain the details. The script should also accept a piped-in list of computer names, so you could grab them from AD or ConfigMgr and do a whole batch at once.
Some have also asked if it’s possible to have ConfigMgr inventory these details. Due to the length of the hardware hash (4KB), that doesn’t work. You could use ConfigMgr to run the PowerShell script on each machine, then collect the resulting CSV files.

Hi,
Thank you for contacting Microsoft community
I understand you want to change the Hardware ID(HWID) and want to know if you can restore it back to the original ID.
Hardware Id Windows 10 Auslesen
A unique HWID number is generated when the operating system is first installed on the computer as a part of Product Activation. It identifies the hardware components that the system is using, and this number is communicated to Microsoft.
At every restart the operating system will generate another HWID number and compare it to the original to make sure that the operating system is still running on the same device.
The reason behind HWID is to ensure that the operating system is not being used on any device other than the one for which it was purchased and registered.

Problems can arise when users start replacing or adding hardware components -- such as motherboards, sound cards, CD-R drives, Ethernet adapters -- because these will generate new HWIDs, and if there are too many differences from the original installation number the system will register that the operating system has been installed on a different device than the original and subsequently shut itself down.

So we suggest you not to change the HWID of your computer.
