Huge thanks!
So, if I don't care if the IDs and MACs and stuff gets cloned, would it be technically safe to update to someone else's BIOS? Provided that I wouldn't attempt to activate Windows with the built-in key. Is such cloning dangerous for the ME firmware? Theoretically, ME could check the various IDs in the BIOS region for its own purposes, and ME itself uses certain variables of its own, unique to the physical machine (you must know this type of silly situations where another person's "dirty" ME region gets flashed along with the rest of the dump, which screws ME and... you know the story)
