    I’ve always wondered about this, doesn’t Microsoft know when people use this? Or is it just an anonymous number among legit ones and Microsoft can’t tell a difference?

      MS servers cannot tell the difference between where the HWID came from. If it’s there, MS treats it as legitimate. As if they issued it themselves.
