# 4. View-WindowsIdentifiers.ps1
A **read-only** privacy audit that enumerates the unique identifiers Windows,
your account and the hardware expose about this machine - the values that can
fingerprint or correlate the device. It changes nothing; it only reports.
## Quick start
```powershell
# Masked report (safe to screenshot/share)
.\View-WindowsIdentifiers.ps1
# Full values - e.g. to back up your own product key (CONFIDENTIAL output)
.\View-WindowsIdentifiers.ps1 -Reveal
# Export (respects masking unless -Reveal is also passed)
.\View-WindowsIdentifiers.ps1 -Csv .\ids.csv
.\View-WindowsIdentifiers.ps1 -Reveal -Json .\ids.json
```
## Masking
Because the output includes sensitive data, sensitive values are **masked by
default** (`MODE: MASKED`) - the report is safe to share. Pass **`-Reveal`**
to print full values (`MODE: REVEAL`, shown in red); the CSV/JSON export
mirrors whichever mode you ran. Sensitive rows are marked with `!`. Product
keys keep their first and last group (`AAAAA-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-EEEEE`); other
IDs keep their first few characters.
## What it reports
| Category | Identifiers |
|---|---|
| **Machine** | Computer name, `MachineGuid` (Cryptography), **Product ID ("PUID")**, Build GUID, install date, SMBIOS UUID, system IdentifyingNumber |
| **Activation** | Windows edition, license status/channel/description, **partial product key**, **OEM firmware key (OA3)**, **decoded installed product key** (from `DigitalProductId`) |
| **Telemetry** | SQM Machine ID, SQM User ID, DiagTrack Client ID |
| **User** | User name, **user SID**, Advertising ID + enabled flag |
| **Hardware** | BIOS serial, baseboard serial, CPU ProcessorId, per-disk serials, TPM presence/manufacturer |
| **Network** | Per-adapter MAC addresses (physical adapters) |
Notes:
- **Read-only.** No registry, service or setting is modified.
- **Admin-gated values:** the OEM firmware key (`OA3xOriginalProductKey`) and
TPM data need Administrator; without it they show `(needs admin)`.
- **Volume/MAK licenses** do not store a recoverable key in `DigitalProductId`,
so the decoded key honestly reports `(unavailable - volume/MAK license)`
rather than a bogus value. Retail/OEM installs decode to a real key.
- Every row lists its **Source** (registry path or WMI class) in the CSV/JSON
so you can verify exactly where each value came from.
