changing the chassis serial number in the bios on a new system board

[Beep02]

Hello Community;

    I have an HP Compaq Elite 8200  USDT PC,  it is necessary, at this point, to change the system board.    In the assembly and boot up instructions it indicates that I need to " CHANGE THE CHASSIS SERIAL NUMBER IN THE BIOS "   I am able to make all of the necessary disasemble and reasembly procedures, but, changing the chassis serial numbers is where I can use some expert advise,

    Does anyone in the community know how, or have a link that will explain how I change the system board serial numbers 

Thanks for reading,  any help will be appreciated

Hi

Probably have to pay HP for the privilege.

For HP authorized service partners and IT professionals who need to support a mixed environment of older and newer HP/Compaq PCs, the HP PC Diagnostics 4-in-1 USB Key is a diagnostic tool that supports a wide range of HP Desktop and Notebook PCs. This Key includes HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows, HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI, HP Vision Diagnostics, and files supporting recovery of a corrupted BIOS on supported systems.

DOWNLOAD 4-IN-1 KEY

It's a 2.2 GIG download and not for the faint-hearted.

Prego.

I am not sure, W10 hashes the serial number of the Main Board and OS I believe, and therefore you wont get a registration.

Linux may not care.  https://lubuntu.net/downloads/  or an older Microsoft OS.  BIOS updates may fail.

Just unpleasant, a bit like store credit instead of cash.
