    I would like to obtain a PC ID with QT that will be unique only for the given computer on WINDOWS 10 OS. I have looked in the QSystemInfo class but i cant find anything that I can use. Any suggestions?

      Are you talking about some Windows 10 function to do that?
      Something (maybe) new in windows?

        My software will be running on Windows 10 OS on a PC. So, for examle, I would like my software to be able to obtain the unique CPU ID of that computer.

            Hi to all
            As of Qt 5.11 there is a static function in QSysInfo class:
            QByteArray QSysInfo::machineUniqueId()
            https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsysinfo.html#machineUniqueId
