How to change Bios name

Post by Dorobo808 »

I have been trying to find tutorials to change my Bios name and version (scam baiting) but have had no luck.
I was told to edit:
<BIOS>
<IOAPIC enabled="true"/>
<SmbiosUuidLittleEndian enabled="true"/>
</BIOS>
in windows.vbox=prev but they did not send any other info.
What I am trying to do is hide the vbox bios info if someone was searching my pc,
Any help would be great thank you.

Take a look here: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#changedmi

Also, note that .vbox-prev is a backup copy of the .vbox file. If you do not see a .vbox file, configure your host OS to show all extensions.

We don't normally provide Windows tuition here, but quickly: open a Windows Explorer shell, click "View" and then make sure "File name extensions" is ticked.
