   You can change them in Linux.   
      
   Going from memory, one of them you change in the partitioner (fdisk).   
   This one was crucial with Windows 7 because M$ would use it to detect   
   machine change or pirated copy.   
      
   All these changes can be done without formatting and losing the content.
